China export win welcomed
CATTLE Australia has welcomed China’s reinstatement of export approvals for the remaining two Australian beef export processing plants, which were suspended from supplying product to China in 2020 and 2021.
CA chief executive officer Dr Chris Parker said the change was a win not only for the respective processing plants, but also the producers and lot feeders who supplied these facilities.
“The re-establishment of export approval for these two plants is the result of extensive negotiations by industry advocacy groups and the Federal Government, and we applaud the efforts of Australian Government Ministers and the Department of Agriculture to achieve this most recent outcome,” he said.
“As a net exporter of products, our industry relies on ensuring productive technical discussions can take place, in an effort to strengthen ties with current trading partners and foster relationships with new customers.
“We look forward to ongoing conversations with China and other nations, as we continue to share Australia’s world-leading beef with consumers across the globe.”
