WASHINGTON — United States Trade Representative Michael Froman has announced that the U.S. has requested the World Trade Organization (WTO) to establish a dispute settlement panel to examine Indonesia’s wide-ranging import restrictions on fruits and vegetables (such as apples, grapes, and potatoes), animal products (such as beef and poultry), and other agricultural products.
These measures include a ban on poultry and certain meat products and Indonesia’s trade-restrictive import licensing regimes for horticultural products and animals and animal products.
The trade representative office said Indonesia’s prohibitions and restrictions have unfairly limited opportunities for U.S. farmers. . .
