Country stops importing chicken wings and offal from March 15th

In about a month, some animal products, such as offal and chicken wings, will no longer be imported. The announcement was made by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, which, through the Institute of Veterinary Services, informed that imports of some food products of animal origin, namely poultry, pigs and cattle, will be prohibited.

In a statement, to which VerAngola had access, the government informs importers of products and by-products of animal origin that "licenses will not be issued for the import of offal, poultry, pork and beef parts, as there are conditions for the local production of these products".

Thus, the measure will come into force as of next month. From 15 March, licenses will not be issued for the import of "offal, liver, tripe, kidneys, heart and lungs of beef", as well as "turkey, chicken and duck wings, gizzards, hearts, backs, necks and livers of poultry".

In addition, products of pork origin, such as "heads, ears, snouts, tails, livers, hearts and other offal", will also be covered by the government measure, according to the same press release.

In a second phase, on July 31, the import of "pig necks, beef tails and heads, chicken thighs, turkey drumsticks and thighs" will be prohibited.

This is a government measure to strengthen domestic production and reduce its dependence on the external market.
