Bloomberg writes: Pork exports from Spain are under threat due to the first outbreak of African swine fever in 31 years.
The virus was found in two wild boars in Catalonia.
Spain is the world's fourth largest pork producer after China, the US and Germany, and has the largest pig herd in Europe, so the disease poses a serious risk to the industry.
In addition, the country is also home to a large population of wild boars.
African swine fever has been detected in 13 EU countries.
According to EU regulations, countries must apply a series of specific procedures to control and eliminate epidemics in affected areas.
