This announcement comes after extensive work by U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) technical staff with Japanese authorities to establish new terms for market access that are science-based and consistent with international public and animal health standards.
These terms will allow U.S. exports of sheep and goat meat to resume.
Last year, Japan imported $169 million in sheep and goat meat, primarily from Australia and New Zealand. ■
