# The Association of Meat Importers and Exporters and the South African Meat Processors Association have welcomed government’s partial lifting of the poultry import ban from Brazil effective today. Imports resume from all states except Rio Grande do Sul, affected by avian flu. The move averts potential protein shortages. The association urges faster finalisation of regional health agreements and reopening of other key markets to ensure long-term food system resilience.
