It is now impossible to import pork from Odesa, Luhansk, Rivne and Vinnytsia regions of Ukraine to Belarus.

Previously, the country limited imports of raw materials from the Lviv and Zhytomyr regions. Thus, the restriction now applies to six regions of Ukraine. Such information was reported by the Department of Veterinary and Food Supervision of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Belarus.

Time constraints are associated with the spread of African swine fever. It is impossible to import into the territory of Belarus live pigs, zoos and circus animals of susceptible species, sperm of boars, swine meat (including wild boars) and other pig-breeding raw materials, as well as the products of its processing; leather, hornhoofed and intestinal raw materials, animal hair, wild boar meat, hunting trophies obtained from susceptible species of animals, feed and feed additives for animals of plant and animal origin, used equipment for transportation, keeping, slaughtering and cutting of pigs and animal raw materials (products) origin.

These restrictions apply to the import of feed and feed additives for cats and dogs, as well as finished feeds that have been thermally processed and made from pig-breeding raw materials.
