Alarm of the key industry: – If a decision is made on the EU ban on the export of Polish poultry in some areas of our country, we are talking about gigantic losses for the poultry sector – alerts the chairman of the National Federation of Poultry and Egg Manufacturers Paweł Podstawka. “Such actions, if implemented, can not only destroy the achievements of the entire industry, but also undermine the trust of trading partners and weaken the position of our country on international markets,” he writes in a letter to the Minister of Agriculture with a request for intervention.
There will be restrictions: Next week, the European Commission is to decide to ban the export of poultry from Poland due to bird flu. A spokeswoman for the Eva Hrnczirow committee reported that some regions in the: Kuyavian-Pomeranian, Łódź, Mazowieckie, Warmian-Masurian and Greater Poland provinces will be covered by “extraordinary means”. Most outbreaks of the disease were confirmed in the Mazowieckie and Greater Poland voivodships – over 50. In total, there are over 70 in the whole country. Meanwhile, the industry considers these plans to be “disproportionate, unfair and economically destructive”.
The US will also suffer: “The announced bans of exports, both consumer eggs and egg preparations, are to be implemented at the time of growing demand for egg products, both in Poland and on international markets. It is difficult to understand why restrictions would also cover the most modern processing plants, such as the largest egg processing room, located in Greater Poland, which has just begun strategic contracts, which has just begun strategic contracts. Exports to the USA – a key ally of Poland ” – we read in a letter to the minister. It was noted that due to these restrictions Many chicks can be “utilized”. They cannot be exported. Just like eggs.
Appeal of finely: First of all, they demand that the restrictions be introduced only in areas where the threat has been clearly demonstrated. “Extension of zones to the entire voivodships, without risk analysis, and without a relationship with the actual epizootic situation, should be considered as an excess, unjustified and extremely economically expensive action” – they argue. They also expect to exclude” producers from these restrictions, who have been implementing the highest biosecurity standards for years, have an integrated and fully controlled production chain and did not have HPAI bonfires on their farms. ”
