From July 2017 through early October 2018, Romania’s National Sanitary Veterinary and Food Safety Authority (NSVFSA) confirmed nearly 1,000 African swine fever (ASF) cases, including 15 in commercial holdings. To date, approximately 350,000 pigs have been culled under ongoing disease control and eradication measures, 80 percent of which were from commercial farms. Swine movements are restricted as per regulations, which has generated additional concerns for domestic hog farmers. Fearing a potential risk of export interdiction or additional scrutiny, market operators are increasingly substituting domestic pork with imported raw materials.
