UAE authorities discovered fungal contamination on a meat shipment when it arrived in the Gulf nation.
This ban will remain in effect until October 10. It is a setback for Pakistan’s economy, as the country exports around $12 million worth of fresh meat to the UAE via sea routes each month. Most of Pakistan’s fresh meat exports go to the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain.
