Jordan Lifts Restrictions on Poultry Imports from Brazil - Jordan News
The Ministry of Agriculture has lifted the previously imposed restrictions on poultry meat imports from Brazil, following the clearance of avian influenza concerns, according to Musbah Al-Tarawneh, Assistant Secretary-General for Livestock Affairs at the ministry. اضافة اعلان In a statement to Al-Mamlaka on Wednesday, Al-Tarawneh explained that Jordan had imposed restrictions in June on Brazilian poultry imports after a case of avian influenza was detected. He noted that Jordan imports an average of 8,000 to 10,000 tons of frozen chicken annually from Brazil, with the majority being used in local restaurants. Al-Tarawneh emphasized that technical teams at the ministry are closely monitoring health developments in countries exporting animal products and affirmed that the ministry will not hesitate to take necessary decisions to protect public health and the agricultural sector. Back in mid-June, the Ministry of Agriculture had announced the suspension of imports of live poultry and untreated poultry products from Brazil due to confirmed cases of bird flu. The decision was taken as a precautionary measure in line with the ministry's policy of safeguarding animal wealth, public health, and food security in the Kingdom. At the time, the ministry had stated that the suspension would remain in effect until the epidemiological situation in Brazil improves, and verified reports are received from the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) confirming the outbreak is under control and that Brazilian veterinary authorities are implementing appropriate preventive and monitoring measures. It is worth noting that Brazil exported $10 billion worth of chicken meat last year, accounting for about 35% of global poultry trade.

He further emphasized that the Jordanian state is solely responsible for determining how support—whether financial, political, or organizational—is extended to the Palestinian people.
