Mexican ranchers prepare to resume livestock sales to US under tight controls over screwworm risk
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Mexican ranchers are preparing to resume livestock exports to the U.S. after a year-long ban due to the New World screwworm parasite. The U.S. will reopen imports on August 24 at the Douglas, Arizona border, with strict controls in place to prevent the parasite's spread. Initially, only 700 cattle per day will be allowed, increasing gradually. Ranchers like Martín Alfonso Ibarra, who faced a 40% income drop during the ban, are cautiously optimistic. The U.S. demand for beef remains high, but new restrictions may limit the flow of cattle, impacting both countries' supply chains.
