The Avian Influenza Epidemic Continues to Spread in South America in W9

The avian influenza epidemic continues to spread in South America, with 25 cases reported in Argentina until the W1 of March 2023. In mid-February 2023, Argentina declared a health emergency, but the poultry industry was not yet affected. Argentina's poultry products were exported to 56 countries in 2022, with a total value of up to USD 380M. The avian influenza outbreak in Argentine chicken farms has led to an export ban and will also affect the markets of other Latin American countries.
