Bans on Canadian Poultry Mount
OTTAWA - Feb 20/04 - SNS -- Temporary bans on imports of Canadian poultry started to mount within the first 24 hours after the announcement the H7 strain of avian influenza was found on a poultry farm in the province of British Columbia.
Japan was one of the first countries to ban Canadian poultry imports. The impact is modest because Canada only ships about 67 metric tons (MT) a year to that country.
Singapore also banned all poultry imports from Canada. As with Japan, the ban will have a greater psychological impact on Canadian poultry producers than a practical impact because it only buys around 180 MT of Canadian chicken meat a year.
Hong Kong also immediately banned imports of Canadian poultry, but limited its ban to products originating in British Columbia.
