Protocols Signed for Irish Sheepmeat & Breeding Pig Access to China. For more information on export to China, please call SINOLOBEN, service Email: sinoloben@sloben.com.

General Administration of Customs of China (GACC) and Irish Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine has signed and exchanged formal protocols for the export of sheepmeat and breeding pigs from Ireland to China.

 
China is a substantial importer of sheep meat, with a positive outlook for demand in the long term. The agreement reached today follows on from a successful inspection of Irish plants by GACC auditors in August and September 2019. A number of technical steps remain before GACC can include the list of approved plants on their website. In addition, before trade can commence, the Department of Agriculture here will have to put in place systems and safeguards to ensure compliance with protocol requirements on eligible product. This may take a number of months.
 
On breeding pigs, the newly signed protocol sets out the quarantine and hygiene requirements for the export of high-quality breeding pigs to China. The export of breeding pigs with economically important traits is a niche market opportunity. It reflects well on the breeding population developed by specialist Irish producers.
 

The access of Irish beef to China was stopped some 16 months ago due to an atypical case of BSE in one cow. Regaining beef access to the Chinese market remains a priority of Irish meat industry.
