A dead drifting pig found off the coast of Kinmen Island tested positive for African swine fever, marking the first case this year in Kinmen. In response, the Department of Agriculture has temporarily suspended the export of pigs, carcasses, organs, fresh, and processed products from Kinmen to Taiwan and other outlying islands until July 1. The area surrounding where the pig was found has been thoroughly disinfected, with no concerns about pig health at nearby pig farms. Despite the suspension, producers and products on the list of 'Risk Assessment for the Import of Hoofed Animal Products from Kinmen' can still be exported to Taiwan and other outlying islands.
