MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico will ban all imports of poultry and poultry products from Arkansas after a small flock in that U.S. state had been exposed to a mild form of bird flu, the agriculture ministry said on Wednesday. Mexico, whose largest trading partner is the United States, joined Japan, Russia and Taiwan who also closed their borders temporarily to chicken imports. Mexico said it would resume imports once the virus was completely contained. U.S. chicken from other states still can be shipped to Mexico. More
