Chile has suspended the importation of all animals and animal products from Argentina following regulatory changes implemented by the Argentine government under President Javier Milei. The suspension specifically targets meat imports from the Patagonia region of Argentina, as Chilean authorities expressed concerns over the potential risk of foot-and-mouth disease due to the deregulation allowing materials susceptible to the disease. Chile's Agricultural and Livestock Service (SAG) and the Ministry of Agriculture have described the measure as a precautionary safeguard to protect Chilean livestock and consumers. The suspension has raised questions about its impact on traditional Argentine barbecue celebrations on September 18. Separately, China has banned the import of poultry and related products from Spain after detecting outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza, according to notices from China's General Administration of Customs and Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs.
