Import restrictions in place due to FMD identified in Cyprus

An outbreak of Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) has been detected in Cyprus, according to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA).

As a result, the CFIA implemented import restrictions on commodities from Cyprus "to safeguard the health of Canada’s livestock and mitigate the economic impact of a potential FMD outbreak in Canada."
 
The Agency provided the following list of species susceptible to FMD:

  • Suidae (pigs, wild boar) 
  • Bovinae (cattle, bison, water buffalo)
  •  Caprinae (sheep, goats)
  •  Camelidae (llamas, alpacas, vicunas, guanacos, and Bactrian camels)
  •  Antilopinae (antelopes, gazelles, blackbucks, springboks, gerenuks, dibatags)
  •  Cervidae (deer, elk, moose, caribou, reindeer)
  •  Any cloven-hooved (two-toed) animals not listed above
  •  Insectivores (tenrecs, hedgehogs, shrews, moles)

In this CEOs of the Industry – International Edition, we sit down with Michael Agerley, Partner at IQinAbox, to explore how data is reshaping the future of pig production.

After more than 20 years as a veterinarian, Michael shares his unique perspective on the shift from hands-on animal care to data-driven decision making across the pork value chain.

We dive into:

• How better data is improving real on-farm decisions

• The biggest opportunities still untapped in pig production

• How Europe is leading (and where it’s still lagging) in tech adoption

• The role of AI and smart systems in the next 5–10 years

• Why trust, leadership, and practical application matter more than ever

This conversation bridges veterinary insight, technology, and real-world farming, offering a clear look at where the industry is headed—and what it will take to get there.
