Japan to Allow Imports of U.S. Sheep, Goats For First Time in 14 Years
USAgNet - 07/16/2018
Japan will begin to accept U.S. sheep and goat exports for the first time in more than 14 years, USDA said Thursday.
The news comes after what USDA described as "extensive" work by department staff and Japanese officials "to establish new terms for market access that are science-based and consistent with international public and animal health standards."
According to POLITICO, Japan banned U.S. lamb exports in December 2003 after it found a case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy in a U.S. cattle herd.
