Oman reopens market for U.S. beef products
The U.S. Department of Agriculture on May 9 announced that Oman has lifted its ban on all U.S. beef and beef product imports.
"Oman's market reopening demonstrates a commitment to trade in beef and beef products based on internationally accepted scientific standards for human and animal health," said secretary of Agriculture Mike Johanns. "Oman recognizes that all U.S. beef and beef products are safe. This is another step forward in our efforts to reopen global markets for U.S. beef."
In 2003, the United States exported more than $61,000 worth of beef and beef products to Oman. It is the second country in the Middle East region to reopen its market to U.S. beef. Egypt announced the reopening of its market to U.S. beef in March.
