Better air quality

CITIES reported more days with good air quality in July, official data showed, as the government intensified efforts to crack down on polluters.

Last month, 338 cities monitored by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment (MEE) enjoyed good air quality on 87.7 percent of days, up by 5.1 percentage points from the same period last year.

Broiler chicken probed

THE Ministry of Commerce said that it will extend the anti-dumping investigation into imports of Brazilian white-feather broiler chicken.

The probe will be extended for another six months until Feb. 18, 2019, due to the complexity of the case, according to a statement issued by the MOC on Friday.
