US, Russia may be close to deal on poultry trade
Russia may be close to having a plan in place to resume U.S. poultry trade, which has been suspended since January, said The Wall Street Journal.
According to Russian newswires, Rospotrebnadzor Chief Gennady Onishchenko said his agency has come to an agreement on various rules for trading poultry between Russia and the U.S. Rospotrebnadzor is Russia's consumer protection agency.
The ban on Russian imports of U.S. poultry took effect January 19, which Russia attributed to a common chlorine wash used in the U.S.

New rules could alter US livestock marketing
A Reuters report said the U.S. Department of Agriculture will propose changes to marketing rules that guide livestock and poultry sales. Announced by the National Family Farm Coalition and the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition, the fair play rules could alter a 2008 farm law and bar meatpackers from giving preference to big producers.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said any changes would respond to farmer complaints. Although the 2008 farm law carries a number of regulations, there’s still little recourse if packers treat producers unfairly. Current laws governing antitrust and competition work well, meat processors say.
