Mexico admits that “there is no date” to restart livestock exports to the US due to plague
Sheinbaum acknowledged that there is still no date to resume the export of livestock to the United States, suspended due to the screwworm plague. He noted progress in the eradication and construction of a sterile fly plant that will be ready in 2026. Both governments are working to establish clear technical criteria to reopen the border without unforeseen closures. The closure has caused losses of up to $1.3 billion for the Mexican livestock sector.
