Australia allocated nearly 600 million to prevent foot-and-mouth disease

Introduction: according to the Australian daily, Ian MacDonald, acting Minister of agriculture of the Commonwealth of Australia, supported a report warning to visit the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease The report said that the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease will reduce Australia's national income by 13 billion yuan A report by the productivity committee found that once foot-and-mouth disease broke out, the government would have to spend between 30 million yuan and 450 million yuan on taxpayers to clean up and control the outbreak Senator McDonald said the report supports the federal government's decision to strengthen control of foreign pests and viruses "The report highlights the importance of all jurisdictions in Australia to prevent the risk of FMD outbreaks." "Once foot-and-mouth disease breaks out and cannot be controlled as soon as possible, trade will be greatly damaged, the unemployment rate will rise, the national economy will be affected, the environment will also be negatively affected, and social problems like depression will rise." The productivity committee found that if Australia was attacked by the disease, the livestock export industry would be greatly impacted, resulting in billions of yuan of losses Even if it is a small-scale outbreak and can be controlled in three months, it will still cause the loss of Australian export earnings of nearly 3 billion yuan If the outbreak lasts for a year, or even multiple areas erupt at the same time, the national loss will be between 8 billion and 13 billion yuan McDonald said the government has allocated 596 million yuan to minimize the risk of foot-and-mouth disease entering Australia.
