Egypt lifts ban on US beef
"We are extremely pleased at the reopening of another important market for U.S. beef exports and anticipate that exports will quickly return to pre-BSE trade levels," said Johanns. "USDA will continue to focus on our efforts to open additional markets by promoting the use of science-based regulations in the global trade in beef."
In 2003, Egyptian purchases of US beef and beef products amounted to $30 million, with liver accounting for nearly 65 percent or $19 million of total sales.
