Turkiye: More Restrictions on Live Cattle Exports to Turkiye
Türkiye is the second largest cattle importing country after the United States, with imports valued at $1.6 billion in 2023 despite strict health and technical requirements. As of May 15, 2024, the Turkish Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MinAF) enacted an unjustified trade embargo on U.S. cattle following the detection of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (H5N1) in some dairy herds in the United States. In addition, several European Union countries have seen sales of their dairy cows restricted over the past several months due to the spread of Bluetongue disease, including Germany, Austria, and Hungary. This month, MinAF has released additional restrictions for live cattle imports.
