Colombia resumes pork meat imports from Argentina
 

Colombia has resumed pork imports from Argentina after banning it for almost a year.

The resumption followed a meeting between Argentina's national animal and food inspection agency Senasa and the Colombian Agricultural Institute (ICA), reported Argentine daily "La Nacion".

The Colombian government suspended Argentine meat imports due to an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in Argentina on Feb 8 last year.
