Russia and Thailand have issued temporary bans on imports of live cattle, buffalo and their products due to lumpy skin disease virus spread. Thailand had earlier banned products from Myanmar, and Malaysia, Laos and Cambodia have restricted cattle movement.
Multiple import bans across Asia and Russia restrict regional trade in live cattle and beef products, adding to supply tightness in the region. The disease spread increases the risk of further trade disruption.
After 69 past neutral disease events, Live Cattle moved a median -0.1% over 5 sessions (42% higher; middle half -0.8% to +0.6%), and +0.9% over 20.
