Russia Announces New Poultry Quota
The Russian Government published a resolution on November 12,
2005, which increased the poultry quota volume for 2006. The new
poultry quota volume is 1.09 million metric tons (MMT), of which the
United States is allocated 881,900 MT. The previously approved poultry
import quota was 1.05 MMT, including 771,900 MT for the United
States. Allocations for other countries were not specified in the new
resolution.
Foot and Mouth Disease in Brazil Also Affects Poultry Exports
Brazil confirmed an outbreak of Food and Mouth Disease in Mato
Grosso do Sul (MGS) on October 9, 2005. Following the guidelines of
the OIE and the WTO’s sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) agreement,
Brazil divided its territory into five regional markets in an effort to manage
sanitary controls more effectively.
Several countries reacted by banning poultry product imports from Brazil.
Russia banned poultry products from Mato Grosso do Sul, which had
8.3 % of the poultry market share for January-September 2005. Ukraine
banned poultry products from Mato Grosso do Sul and neighboring
Parana, which had 0.3 % of the market share for the same period.
Indonesia and Namibia banned poultry products from all of Brazil,
although Brazil had not exported poultry to those countries this year.
