Philippines bans poultry imports from 3 countries over bird flu fears
As Business Mirror reports, the authorities from the Philipines have made the decision of baning the imports after the three countries reported to the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) outbreaks of bird flu at their local plants in the last two months.
