Ministers Ritz (Agriculture) and Fast (International Trade) announce greater access to Taiwanese market
February 5, 2014 – Ottawa, Ontario – Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada
Taiwan and Canada have signed an arrangement to expand market access to include Canadian bone-in beef and other specified beef products from animals under 30 months of age (UTM). The arrangement will level the playing field for Canadian beef producers and generate export opportunities to the lucrative Taiwanese market.
Under the arrangement signed on February 3, implementation will occur no later than 30 days from the date it was signed. This arrangement will help Canadian beef exporters expand their sales into this market, while also benefiting Taiwanese consumers who will have greater access to Canada’s safe, high-quality beef.
