A two-year series of negotiations between Hungary and Japan ended on December 16 with the adoption of a regionalization agreement.
Norbert Erdős, State Secretary for Food Chain Supervision of the Hungarian Ministry of Agriculture, emphasized that Japan is the first country in the world to provide Hungary with the possibility of regionalization among the countries affected by ASF. In this sense, the trade restriction in Japan against pork and meat products originating from Hungary, now applies to the ASF-affected areas of the country only.
This opportunity, in addition to being a serious economic advantage for Hungarian pig producers, is also a significant recognition of the work of Hungarian veterinary professionals and their measures to curb the ASF epidemic.
Exports from the areas of Hungary that are free of ASF may continue after the approval of the veterinary export certificate.
