The disease-free status will benefit Mexican swine producers.

So far, the center-west of the country, comprising of the states Colima, Guanajuato, Jalisco, Michoacan, Morelos, Oaxaca, Queretaro and San Luis Potosi, have recorded an advance of 65 per cent in progress towards becoming free of the disease.

Note that the rest of the country is free of the disease and that the declaration will allow pork producers in the country to sell their products both domestically and internationally on more competitive terms.

The meeting also reported regional progress of 58 per cent in the collection of information and 50 per cent in the distribution of the vaccine.
