After Avian Influenza Outbreak in Rio Grande do Sul, Argentina Joins China and European Union and Bans All Chicken Meat Imports from Brazil

Argentina announced on Friday the immediate suspension of chicken meat imports and poultry by-products from all of Brazil. The decision was made following the confirmation of an avian influenza outbreak in the municipality of Montenegro, in Rio Grande do Sul.

The country joins China and the European Union, which had already taken similar measures. The Argentine government stated that the restriction will remain in place until Brazil presents certification of being free from the disease.

The measure was communicated by Argentine health authorities and also included guidance for the local production sector to reinforce biosecurity protocols.

Each country has specific rules on how to deal with avian influenza outbreaks in exporting nations. In the case of Argentina, China, and the European Union, the suspension of purchases applies to the entire Brazilian territory.

This means that, even with the isolated outbreak in the south of the country, the restrictions affect producers from other regions.

Other trading partners of Brazil, such as Japan, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and the Philippines, follow a different policy.

These countries maintain agreements with Brazil that anticipate the regionalization of restrictions. Thus, they should only suspend the purchase of chicken meat originating from Rio Grande do Sul.

According to the Ministry of Development, Industry, Commerce, and Services, between January and April of this year, Brazil exported US$ 3.7 billion in poultry and offals. The main destinations include China, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.

The suspension announced by Argentina represents yet another challenge for the Brazilian poultry sector, which leads global exports of the product.

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

They planted a sea of eucalyptus to produce cellulose, but the monoculture turned into a green desert, dried up springs and rivers, and pushed families out of regions in Minas Gerais and Bahia.

Júlia Pimentel, an 11-year-old from Minas Gerais, independently invented a new formula to calculate the square root using simple addition and multiplication, and her method was published in one of the most important mathematical scientific journals in Brazil.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Heir bought 23,000 degraded acres in the Scottish Highlands, fenced the area, planted nearly 1 million native trees, and transformed empty mountains into a forest officially recognized after meeting 15 evaluation criteria over 20 years.

The Atacama Desert, the driest place on Earth, was covered in flowers and turned into a colorful carpet with more than 200 species in the phenomenon called “desert bloom,” when atypical rains awaken seeds that had remained dormant in the soil for many years.
