China, EU suspend Brazil chicken imports over bird flu ...Middle East

China is the main importer of Brazilian chicken, with 562,000 tons in 2024, or more than 10 percent of the total, according to Brazil's ABPA meat association.

“To respect the agreements made with China and the European Union, exports are restricted” from Brazil as a whole -- in China's case for 60 days, Brazil's agriculture ministry said in a statement.

While China and the EU suspended imports from Brazil as a whole, other countries may place restrictions on the affected region only.

Infections in humans can cause severe disease with a high mortality rate, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

The virus does not appear to move easily from person to person, according to the WHO.

The H5N1 bird flu was first detected in 1996 in China, but since 2020, the number of outbreaks among birds has surged, and an increasing number of mammal species has been affected.

A three-year-old girl last month became Mexico's first human fatality from H5N1.
