Oman bans Hungarian poultry
Oman has banned the import of Hungarian poultry and related products from Hungary from March 3, due to the bird flu epidemic that broke out in Hungary some weeks ago.
Heat-treated products are exempt from the ban.
Oman joined China, Kuwait, the Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan and the UAE, which had already banned Hungarian poultry imports.
Hong Kong, Israel, Japan, Russia and Singapore have banned imports only from the affected regions of Hungary.
The virus was detected in a farm near Acs, Komarom-Esztergom county and a few days later in Letavertes, Hajdu-Bihar county. (agrarszektor.hu)

The number of pigs farmed was down 8.3% year-on-year to 2.6 million on December 1, 2019, according to a summary by the Central Statistics Office.
The reduction is due to measures taken following outbreaks of the African swine flu and the porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome.
The number of hens was 30.9 million, essentially the same as one year earlier.
The total number of farmed ducks had fallen by 8.1% to 4.5 million and the number of geese was down 12% to 1.2 million.
