Russia to resume U.S. pork imports around March 10
Russia plans to resume pork imports from the United States around March 10, Russia's veterinary and phytosanitary service (VPSS) said on Thursday. The country had banned pork imports in 2013 due to the industry’s use of the ractopamine feed additive.
"It's an approximate date," VPSS spokesman Alexei Alekseenko said. He declined to offer further details, Reuters reports.
