US EditionArgentina halts Brazil poultry imports after bird flu outbreak
- On Friday, Argentina halted the entry of poultry goods from Brazil after a bird flu case was detected in Montenegro, located in Rio Grande do Sul state.
- The ban resulted from a confirmed outbreak at a commercial farm, marking Brazil's first such case after only wild bird cases since May 2023.
- Brazil activated emergency protocols, culling nearly 17,000 birds to contain the virus while China, the EU, and Argentina imposed nationwide bans, and some countries applied selective restrictions.
- Brazil ships $3.7 billion in poultry yearly and supplies about 150 countries, but officials stress minimal human risk and emphasize that Rio Grande do Sul accounts for over 16% of exports.
- The outbreak threatens Brazil's global market position, with analysts forecasting supply adjustments, price increases, and importers seeking alternative poultry sources soon.
