CANBERRA - Australian Minister of Agriculture Barnaby Joyce has announced abreakthrough in live cattle export trade negotiations with China on Monday. Joyce said the Australian and Chinese veterinary authorities were in the process offormalizing agreement on animal health certification requirements, which would allow theindustry to begin to prepare the commercial and Exporter Supply Chain Assurance System(ESCAS) arrangements for trade to commence. "I was very pleased today to sign the agreement of health conditions for trade of Australianfeeder and slaughter cattle to China -- now it's over to my counterpart, Minister Zhi Shuping,to sign on the dotted line and finalize the agreement between our two nations," a statementquoted Joyce as saying. "Over the past five years we've had a significant trade in breeder cattle with China, primarilyfor dairy heifers. Now, I'm pleased to announce we are a step closer to the commencement intrade in live slaughter and feeder cattle to China," he said. Joyce said China will be the seventh livestock slaughter cattle export market that Australiahas opened since he took office in 2013, including Lebanon, Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Cambodiaand Thailand. Once the agreement is formalized, exporters will be able to begin working with importers inChina to implement the ESCAS and establish supply chains that meet the requirements. "This industry is a real Australian success story. We are known world-wide for our high-qualityand reliable livestock trade, and now industry has another opportunity for trade to increase,"Joyce said. The deal with China opens a "massive market" too big for Australia to meet the demandimmediately. "We would not be able to supply what they want immediately. We will build up to thosenumbers over eight to ten years. Ultimately, they want around about a million head a year.We couldn't supply that now," Joyce was quoted by newspaper The Australian on Monday. Joyce expected the live cattle trade with China would be worth up to AU$2 billion ($1.48billion) in ten years' time. |
