Spain's Coren may export fresh organic pork in Japan
Spanish company Coren is able to export fresh organic pork to the Japanese market as it has obtained the JAS Livestock certificate granted by the Spanish agency CAAE. In Spain, CAAE is the first and only entity that has the authorization of the Japanese government to certify these products. After carrying out all the appropriate procedures and passing the relevant audits, the Galician company Coren has received the JAS certification, which will allow it to market its fresh organic pork products in Japan.
The managing director of CAAE, Juan Manuel Sánchez Adame, stressed that Japan and Europe “are experiencing a very positive moment that favors an increase in the volume of imports and exports. This movement is very favorable for Spain for several reasons: Japan is the second country in the world to which Spain exports the most pork in terms of value (10% of exports), only surpassed by France (18%); almost half of Spanish food and beverage exports to Japan are pork products”.
Another factor that increases the possibility of business in the Japanese market was the entry into force, in February 2019, of the EPA trade agreement, which, with reference to tariffs, for pork products remained at 0%. In addition, this treaty provides for the progressive reduction of tariffs on other products, as well as the protection in the Japanese market of three Spanish Denominations of Origin for hams: Guijuelo, Jabugo and Jamón de Teruel / Paleta de Teruel.
