Russia-More meat plants de-listed.

RUSSIA-DE-LSITING OF PLANTS AND LACK OF MONEY MAKE THE RUSSIAN MARKET A LAST RESORT AS OPPOSED TO FIRST CHOICE MARKET TODAY.

From February 6, 2009, Russia has banned meat imports from some Canadian, American, Uruguayan, Belarusian and Ukrainian enterprises, as Federal Agency for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Supervision of the Russian Federation (Rosselkhoznadzor) reports.

The supply is restricted in a view of detection of harmful forbidden substances in animal products supplied from the said enterprises.

Thus, pork and trimmings supply is forbidden from 7 Canadian enterprises (Est. 81, 94, 129, 147, 147С, 199, 524). Poultry imports are banned from two American plants (Р-20322, Р-20245). Restrictions have been also imposed on beef supply from Uruguayan enterprise N55. ОАО "Belovezhsky Meat Processing Plant" has not been licensed for pork supply, and beef imports from OAO "Ivano-Frankovsky Meat Processing Plant" have been banned as well.
