Data Report

SUMMARY - The Philippines has banned, effective today (2024-06-08), the import of birds from the country of Australia due to Australia's ongoing issues with HPAI (Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza). Memorandum Order #21 from Agriculture Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel Jr. states "All shipments coming from Australia that are in transit/load/accepted unto port before the official communication of this order to the Australian authorities shall be allowed provided that the products were slaughtered/produced on or before May 9, 2024." Australia is currently the fourth largest importer of chicken meat to the Philippines.
