Argentina
is allowing imports of Canadian pork three months after it made a
similar move for the U United States.
Argentina
had cited swine health concerns to support its bans.
The
agreement was announced by
Agriculture Minister
Lawrence MacAulay and International Trade Minister François-Philippe
Champagne.
The
change is effective immediately.
When
the ban on U.S. pork was lifted, the National Pork Producers
Association there estimated it could export $10 million worth of pork
per year to Argentina.
There
has been no Canadian estimate made available.
