Australian Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry

The Australian Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry has taken a significant step in regulating the import of dairy products into the country. On February 15, 2026, the department issued a notice addressing the importation of dairy products from Greece. This action was prompted by an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in Greece, which poses a potential risk to the Australian dairy industry.

The department's proactive measures are crucial in maintaining the safety and integrity of Australia's dairy market, ensuring that the health of livestock and the quality of dairy products are preserved.
