National Confederation Cites Undisclosed Health Risks and Potential Economic Crisis

BRASÍLIA — The Confederation of Agriculture and Livestock of Brazil (CNA) has officially requested that the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (Mapa) suspend fish imports from Vietnam. In a formal letter sent last Friday, May 17, the organization also urged the government to maintain current restrictions on Ecuador, citing a lack of transparency regarding disease outbreaks in both nations.

The CNA describes the move as a preventive necessity to protect Brazilian aquaculture. According to the document, certain diseases present in these countries have not been properly reported to the World Organisation for Animal Health, calling into question the integrity of their sanitary surveillance.

Critical Threats to Production

The request focuses on two high-impact diseases that pose a risk to the industry’s multi-million US$ value:

  • Tilapia Lake Virus (TiLV): Detected in Vietnam.

  • Acute Hepatopancreatic Necrosis Disease (AHPND): Recorded in Ecuador.

Francisco Farina, President of the National Aquaculture Commission of the CNA, warned of the consequences of an outbreak:

"These diseases have a high productive impact, with high mortality rates and significant economic losses."

Ensuring Fair Sanitary Standards

A primary concern for the CNA is the current lack of contingency protocols within Brazil to manage these specific pathogens if they were introduced. The confederation argues that foreign products must be held to the same rigorous scrutiny as domestic ones.

"The objective is not to restrict international trade, but to ensure that imports meet the same sanitary standards required of Brazilian producers," the CNA stated.

The Ministry of Agriculture (Mapa) is currently analyzing the request to determine the technical and strategic viability of a suspension.

ブラジル農業指導者、ベトナム産魚介類の輸入即時停止を要求

全国連盟、未公表の健康リスクと潜在的な経済危機を指摘

ブラジル、ブラジリア — ブラジル農業牧畜連盟(CNA)は、ベトナムからの魚介類輸入を停止するよう農業牧畜省(Mapa)に正式に要請しました。去る5月17日(金)に送付された公式文書の中で、同組織はまた、両国における病害発生に関する透明性の欠如を理由に、エクアドルに対する現在の制限を維持するよう政府に促しました。

CNAは、この動きをブラジルの養殖業を保護するための予防的必要性であると説明しています。文書によると、これらの国々に存在する特定の病害が国際獣疫事務局(世界動物保健機関)に適切に報告されておらず、衛生監視体制の完全性に疑問を投げかけています。

生産に対する重大な脅威

この要請は、数百万米ドル規模の価値を持つ産業にリスクをもたらす、影響の大きい2つの病害に焦点を当てています。

  • ティラピアレイクウイルス(TiLV):ベトナムで検出。

  • 急性肝膵臓壊死症(AHPND):エクアドルで記録。

CNA全国養殖委員会のフランシスコ・ファリーナ会長は、発生した場合の結末について次のように警告しました。

「これらの病害は生産への影響が大きく、死亡率が高く、多大な経済的損失をもたらします。」

公正な衛生基準の確保

CNAにとっての主な懸念は、これらの特定の病原体が導入された場合に、それを管理するための緊急時プロトコルが現在のブラジル国内に欠如していることです。連盟は、外国製品も国内製品と同じ厳格な精査を受けるべきであると主張しています。

「目的は国際貿易を制限することではなく、輸入品がブラジルの生産者に求められるものと同じ衛生基準を満たすことを保証することです」とCNAは述べました。

農務省(Mapa)は現在、停止措置の技術的および戦略的な実行可能性を判断するために、この要請を分析しています。

巴西农业领袖要求立即停止进口越南鱼类

全国联盟指出未披露的健康风险及潜在经济危机

巴西,巴西利亚巴西农业和畜牧业联合会 (CNA) 已正式要求农业和畜牧业部 (Mapa) 暂停从越南进口鱼类。在去年5月17日(星期五)发送的一封正式信函中,该机构还敦促政府维持目前对厄瓜多尔的限制,理由是这两个国家在疾病爆发方面的透明度不足。

CNA 将此举描述为保护巴西水产养殖业的预防性必要措施。根据该文件的说法,这些国家存在的某些疾病并未向世界动物卫生组织进行妥善报告,这让人对应急卫生监测系统的完整性产生质疑。

对生产的重大威胁

该请求集中于两种对该价值数百万美元产业构成风险的高影响疾病:

  • 罗非鱼湖病毒 (TiLV):越南检测到。

  • 急性肝胰腺坏死病 (AHPND):厄瓜多尔记录在案。

CNA 全国水产养殖委员会主席弗朗西斯科·法里纳 (Francisco Farina) 对疫情爆发的后果发出警告:

“这些疾病具有很高的生产影响,死亡率高,并会导致重大的经济损失。”

确保公平的卫生标准

CNA 的一个主要担忧是,巴西国内目前缺乏应对这些特定病原体入侵的应急方案。该联合会认为,外国产品必须接受与国内产品同样严格的审查。

“目的不是为了限制国际贸易,而是为了确保进口产品符合对巴西生产者所要求的同样卫生标准,” CNA 表示。

农业部 (Mapa) 目前正在分析该请求,以确定暂停进口在技术和战略上的可行性。
