Hungary has faced market restrictions from several third countries following the outbreak of a highly pathogenic bird flu virus in January 2020. These restrictions, in place until decided otherwise by the countries, have resulted in losses for Hungarian poultry producers and the agricultural sector. Several countries, including South Korea, the United Arab Emirates, Israel, China, Kuwait, Morocco, Oman, Peru, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, and Taiwan, have banned the import of various poultry and poultry products from Hungary. Some countries have lifted certain restrictions, such as Israel on frozen poultry meat and China on specific poultry products. The outbreak has spread widely across Hungary, with over 150 outbreaks registered by the National Food Chain Safety Office since October 1.
