Several countries have imposed bans on imports of veal and pork from Germany.

[Agricultural and Livestock Newspaper = Reporter Jeongmin Hong] The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (MAFRA) announced on the 10th that it will ban the import of German pork and pork products starting from the date of shipment in Germany after the German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture confirmed the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in buffalo and reported it to the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH). According to the MAFRA, this measure was taken after three buffaloes raised on a buffalo farm in Brandenburg, eastern Germany, died and were tested positive for foot-and-mouth disease at the German National Reference Laboratory. This foot-and-mouth disease outbreak in Germany is the first in 37 years since 1988, and the last outbreak in Europe was in 2011.

With the stabilisation of pig numbers, a slight increase in pig slaughter has begun in Germany.
