South Korea agreed to conditions for the resumption of beef imports from Canada, paving the way for the lifting of an eight-year-old ban imposed after an outbreak of mad-cow disease.
The government agreed to restrict shipments to beef from animals younger than 30 months, the Ministry of Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries said in an e-mailed statement today. Imports may resume before the end of the year if procedural steps are completed, it said.
