Russia may start meat imports from Mexico

Russia is expected to start meat imports from Mexico soon, the Russian Government said (Jan 10, 2007).

The country recently authorised imports from Chile of pork, poultry, lamb and beef meats.

Russia is already importing meat from four Latin American countries- Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Chile and the government said it may start meat imports from more Latin American countries.

Mexican exporters are awaiting approval after a recent inspection by Russian authorities.
