China has prohibited imports of sheep, goats, poultry and even-toed ungulates from African, Asian and European countries due to outbreaks of livestock diseases such as sheep pox, goat pox and foot-and-mouth disease.
The ban by the world's largest meat importer affects Ghana, Somalia, Qatar, Congo (DRC), Nigeria, and Tanzania, Egypt, Bulgaria, East Timor and Eritrea.
China also said it has stopped imports of sheep, goat and related products from the occupied Palestinian territories as well as Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nepal and Bangladesh due to sheep pox and goat pox outbreaks.
