African swine fever has dramatically changed the face of international pork trade over the last five years.

This is the fifth region affected by African swine fever (ASF) in the country.

A two-day simulation exercise, a training on biosecurity for private sector and workshop for haunters were held on 23-26 May within the framework Regional Programme on Animal Health under the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). 

The number of African Swine Fever outbreaks in pigs and cases reported in wild boar in the European Union fell significantly in 2022 compared to 2021, according to a report recently published by the European Food Safety Authority.

African swine fever was confirmed on a pig farm in the Riau Islands with 285,034 susceptible animals.
