Germany is allowed to export pork to South Korea again!
The news from agriculture is currently causing a lot of excitement. In a welcome turn for the German export industry, pork deliveries to South Korea can now be made again. How boerse.de reported that the previously existing import restrictions were lifted after long negotiations with the Federal Ministry of Agriculture. This is not only an important step for local farmers, but also a signal that markets outside the EU are stabilizing again.
Department head Alois Rainer from the CSU emphasized the relevance of the South Korean market, especially after Germany was able to export around 51,000 tons of pork there last year. An interesting aspect of this is that German exporters are now looking to reduce the existing restrictions imposed by other countries, such as Japan, the USA and Canada.
Background on exports
In January 2023, an outbreak of classical swine fever (FMD) in Germany, the first in more than 35 years, led to massive import bans by numerous non-EU countries. This hit the industry hard as numerous countries banned the import of meat and dairy products from Germany. The European Union, on the other hand, continued to allow products from regions that were not affected by the disease to be sold without any problems.
Fortunately, there have been no further cases of FMD in Germany since then, and in April 2023 the country was again classified as “FMD-free” by the World Organization for Animal Health. This is an important step towards normality and the hope for faster export routes is becoming increasingly tangible.
A look outside the box: health and filter technology
While the situation in agriculture is stabilizing, the issue of health and water supply does not go unnoticed. If you are looking for a powerful water filter system, you will find an interesting solution with the Black Berkey filters. These filter systems are designed to reliably reduce harmful substances such as heavy metals and minerals removed by treating water.
How theberkey.com Reportedly, these filters can remove, among other things, 99.99% of fluoride and 99.9% of lead without eliminating the beneficial minerals. The use of such filter systems is not only interesting for everyday life, but also for emergencies or areas where water supplies are limited.
For anyone concerned about contaminants in drinking water, health experts recommend avoiding long-term consumption of reverse osmotic or distilled water, as these processes remove many valuable minerals.
In summary, both the agricultural sector and healthcare are moving and making important progress. While the opening of the South Korean market to pork exports is a positive sign for the economy, innovative filter technologies can help improve water quality. Off to a healthy future!
