Mexico bans Vietnam shrimp imports

Mexico has decided to stop importing shrimps in all forms from China, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam.

The government made the decision following the outbreak of the early mortality syndrome (EMS) in order to protect domestic shrimp farming, the Mexican Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock, Rural Development, Fisheries and Food (Sagarpa) said on April 18.

Sagarpa asked the national food hygiene and safety administration to keep a tight grip on the import of shrimps from other countries free from EMS.
