World: In the United States, imports of live cattle from Mexico are restricted

Tridge summary

The USDA has temporarily halted imports of live animals from Mexico due to a screwworm outbreak in Chiapas, a state near the Guatemala border. The screwworm, a pest that causes flesh-eating sores in animals, was eradicated from the US in the 1960s. This ban could potentially reduce the US supply of cattle for slaughter.

Meanwhile, the Philippines is set to conduct an on-site audit of Paraguay's meat export authorization from December 2 to 18, 2024, as part of the export negotiation process initiated in 2020.
