German Perspective – 18.02.25
This week: Reporting on the market is not really much fun at the moment. How could it be, because on the one hand activity is very low and on the other hand we are currently excluded from many export markets owing to foot and mouth disease. Fortunately, not from all of them, because for those countries that do not require government-approved certificates, the necessary adjustments can be made with the relevant import authorities. The problem of foot-and-mouth disease is becoming increasingly unclear at the moment. Since the one case in a buffalo herd at the beginning of January, there have been no further infections. On the one hand, this is extremely pleasing, as the spread of the disease would have had catastrophic consequences. But on the other hand it is also somewhat strange.
