Foot-and-Mouth Disease: Several Countries Forego Meat from Austria

The embargoes on meat imports from Austria, announced by the USA, Canada, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Bosnia and Herzegovina three weeks ago, which include goats and sheep as important groups alongside beef and pork, account for only a small share of Austria's total exports in these categories. For pork, Japan is notable with 7,125 tons or 5.6 percent of all exports, while Bosnia and Herzegovina accounted for 1.7 percent or 2,226 tons last year. For beef, the shares are similarly low. Bosnia and Herzegovina accounted for 1,878 tons or 1.9 percent of all beef exports, and the United Kingdom accounted for 946 tons or 0.9 percent.
