Spain’s pork exports to China resume


 

Spain’s pork exports to China resumed after a brief stop because a couple of wild boars tested positive for African Swine Fever.


The resumption is based on a November agreement that Chin will honour the European Union’s sanitary regionalization system.


Police and soldiers have been participating in efforts to find and remove sick animals in the affected region, including using drones in the search. 


Since the initial discovery of two dead pigs, seven more have been discovered, also infected with African Swine Fever.


Spain is China’s biggest source of imported pork.


Mexico also cut off pork from Spain.
