MEXICO - Mexico is now able to export pork to Japan after the country recognised it as being a country free of classical swine fever.This authorization will enable the Mexican meat industry to improve competitiveness and to boost exports to Japan, which already exceed 70,000 tons annually.Previously, the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) only recognised the states of Baja California, Chihuahua, Sinaloa, Sonora, Yucatan and Jalisco as being free of disease, and so only producers from these areas were eligible to export pork meat.

　　墨西哥作为一个没有猪瘟的国家，在获得日本的认可后，现在能够向日本出口猪肉了。这项授权能让墨西哥肉制品格业提高竞争力并增添在日本的出口量，每年超过七万吨。先前，日本农林渔业部长只认可美国加利福尼亚洲，奇瓦瓦、锡那罗亚洲、尤卡坦州、哈利斯科州作为没有疾病的地方，惟独上述区域的生产商有资格向日本出口猪肉。
