Swine fever: end of the embargo, but maximum attention must be paid to meat arriving in Sardinia
The next objective, explains the president of Coldiretti Sardegna Battista Cualbu, is the Igp recognitionThe European Community says stop to the bans and, after 40 years of fighting African swine fever , the meat produced in Sardinian farms can finally reach the sales counters of all of Europe. However, the Psa epidemic has arrived in Northern Italy and in several European nations. The situation is reversed and now it becomes essential to raise the levels of control and safety for the meat that lands in Sardinia , so as to avoid the emergence of new outbreaks. A worrying situation.
On the Island, only 25% of pork consumed is produced in Sardinian farms. The rest comes from outside. The next goal, explains the president of Coldiretti Sardegna Battista Cualbu, is the Igp recognition for Sardinian pork . After the creation of the promotion committee, the request was formalized to the Ministry of Health and the Sardinia Region, but once again bureaucracy is slowing down the procedure.
