Brazil's Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock has established a regionalisation agreement with Singapore to maintain meat and pork trade even if African Swine Fever (ASF) occurs in Brazil. This agreement permits trade as long as the disease is confined to a specific region and sanitary protocols are adhered to, following World Organization for Animal Health guidelines.

ASF is a highly contagious disease affecting pigs but does not pose a threat to human health.
