Washington reopens borders to Mexican cattle

The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced the gradual reopening of borders to Mexican cattle imports after a ban that lasted over a year, which had reduced supplies and driven beef prices in the United States to record levels. The United States will begin accepting cattle through the Douglas port in Arizona within 30 days, with a future plan to open additional crossings in New Mexico, provided Mexico implements measures to combat the spiral knotworm. The process requires precise veterinary checks to ensure the animals are free of the pest, which has recently reached internal regions within the United States, contributing to the supply reduction and price increases. The extension of the import restart is linked to Mexico's implementation of a joint plan that includes surveillance and inspection to limit the spread of the pest, with expectations of exports resuming in a few weeks after completing the health procedures.
