Japan terminated the ban on Hungarian poultry meat imports

Japan terminated the ban on Hungarian poultry meat imports from 2 June. The measure was introduced because bird flue was detected in Békés county in February.

According to the communication of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Foreign Affairs (KKM) sent to MTI on Thursday, Hungary can deliver poultry born after 2, meat and eggs.

Outside Europe, Japan is the largest buyer of Hungarian food products. In 2013 Hungary exported food products in a value of 67 million euros to Japan. This year exports can reach or even exceed 100 million euros – the KKM estimates.
