Disease and biosecurity constraints to trade in animal products
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 February 2018
Extract
The major centres of consumption of animal products are countries of relatively high per capita income and human population density. In these countries, the cost of production of animal product tends to be high. In particular, land and labour prices are higher than in less populous and wealthy countries. This also tends to encourage the adoption of more intensive animal production systems, often associated with adverse effects on animal disease risk, product quality, animal welfare and the environment.
