US will export pork to Argentina for the first time in decades
"After 25 years of discussions, America's pork producers will soon be able to export their fine product to Argentina," Pence said in the statement. "This is one more example of the commitment of President Trump and his entire administration to breaking down international trade barriers and making free and fair trade a win-win for American workers, farmers, and our trading partners."
US pork producers will now be able to export all fresh, chilled, and frozen pork and pork products to a market valued at 10 million dollars per year.
Argentina blocked the imports of pork meat and pork products imports from the US in 1992, because of concerns dealing with animal health.
Pork exports from the US to Argetina will oficially resume after a team of Argentine food safety officials will conduct on-site verification of the United States meat inspecton system.
The U.S. is the world's top pork exporter.
