Morocco halts feed grain imports from Germany over foot-and-mouth disease

According to the head of Morocco's grain trade federation (FNCL), Morocco has suspended the import of feed grains from Germany following an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease.  The import ban affects "all untreated plant-based feed intended for animal consumption.” Traders have reported that exporters have sourced some feed barley cargoes for Morocco in France instead of Germany in response to the trade restriction.
