Argentina allows Canadian pork


Argentina is allowing imports of Canadian pork three months after it made a similar move for the U United States.

Argentina had cited swine health concerns to support its bans.

The agreement was announced by Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay and International Trade Minister François-Philippe Champagne.

The change is effective immediately.

When the ban on U.S. pork was lifted, the National Pork Producers Association there estimated it could export $10 million worth of pork per year to Argentina.



There has been no Canadian estimate made available.
