Hong Kong's Centre for Food Safety has suspended imports of poultry meat and products, including eggs, from Kyoto Prefecture with immediate effect. The suspension follows a Japanese notification of a highly pathogenic H5 avian influenza outbreak there.
Hong Kong imported about 1,030 tonnes of frozen poultry meat and 249.94 million eggs from Japan in the first nine months of 2026.
The ban removes a regional export outlet for Japanese poultry and eggs, which adds to supply pressure in Japan. Price impact is limited because Hong Kong's volumes are small relative to global trade.
