Chinese poultry exports to the EU hit a six-year high in April
In April, China's poultry exports to the EU reached 4,097 tonnes of poultry products, a six-year high, due to low-quotas applied on Chinese poultry since April 1, informs Xinhuanet agency.
As the only Chinese province which exports poultry meat to the EU, Shandong exported 4,097 tonnes of poultry products, worth 100 million yuan ($14.5 million), marking a year-on-year increase of 32.2 percent and 48 percent, respectively.
The EU had agreed to grant more low-tariff quotas to Chinese poultry meat, including the quotas for 5,000 tonnes of chicken meat and 6,600 tonnes of duck meat after China filed a complaint to the World Trade Organization (WTO) over high poultry tariffs in April 2015.
In April 2017, the WTO ruled that EU's poultry tariff quota management had violated its rules. A final agreement was reached a year later and was implemented since last month. Also, starting this year, poultry export enterprises in Shandong will receive training in various aspects, including breeding, slaughtering and hot processing, in order to meet the requirements of importing countries.
