Hong Kong resumed importing fresh poultry products from Korea yesterday, lifting its four-month import ban following the outbreak of low pathogenic avian influenza here, the South Korean government said.
?We were able to resume our exports at an early date as the government actively explained its quarantine measures to prevent a recurrence of low pathogenic avian influenza to the Hong Kong government,? the Ministry of Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries said in a press release.
Korea began exporting chickens and ducks to Hong Kong in July 2009, but was shut out of the Hong Kong market late last year due to an outbreak of the avian influenza. Exports resumed in April and continued until another outbreak of the low pathogenic avian influenza was reported in the country?s southwestern Jeolla provinces in May.
