The Colombian government recently lifted its ban on U.S. beef originating from states in which H5N1 was detected in dairy cows. U.S. Meat Export Federation President and CEO Dan Halstrom notes that the reopening of beef trade comes after tireless work from USDA and USTR officials.
The reopening comes following months of work by U.S. officials.
Sourcing U.S. beef from eligible states became difficult when Colombia’s restrictions were in place. Halstrom said now there is work to be done to regain market share.
