The European Union reopens its market to fresh poultry meat from Argentina.

The European Union (EU) officially reopened its market to fresh poultry meat from Argentina with the publication of Implementing Regulation 1813/2026 in the bloc's Official Journal on Monday (28). With this measure, Argentina will be able to resume exports of fresh poultry meat and poultry products to EU countries from August 17th, after regaining its status as a country free of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), in accordance with the recommendations of the World Organisation for Animal Health (WHO). According to the National Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries (SAGyP), the reopening represents an important step forward for the Argentine poultry sector, which had faced trade restrictions imposed after outbreaks of the disease. Data from SAGyP shows that, in 2025, Argentine poultry meat exports to the European Union exceeded US$14 million, a 32% increase compared to 2024. Shipments include whole chickens, cuts, and frozen edible giblets.
