Ukraine: EU Bans Ukraine's Poultry Due to Avian Flu Outbreak

The European Union (EU) introduced a country-wide import ban for Ukrainian poultry and raw poultry products. This ban followed Ukraine’s official notification of bird flu outbreak in central Ukraine in late January of 2020. Ukrainian authorities consider this restriction to be excessive and unjustified. The EU is one of the largest importers of Ukrainian premium poultry cuts. Ukrainian producers will have to redirect significant quantity of poultry to Asian and African markets in January-February of 2020.
