Taiwan to sell cooked meat products to China

TAIPEI -- The Council of Agriculture (COA) said yesterday that Taiwan will be able to sell about 50 types of processed meat products to China after the two sides complete negotiations on the quarantine and inspection of agricultural products.

The 50 items will include cooked pork, chicken, and dumplings. said Hsu Kuei-sen, chief of the COA's Animal Husbandry Department.

However, Hsu said, he is not sure when the arrangements on quarantine and inspection will be finalized.

All 50 products will carry the certified agricultural standards (CAS) logo, he said, noting that the COA has registered Taiwan's CAS logo in China twice over the past five years in order to prevent it from being used by Chinese businesses.

Taiwan launched the CAS program in 1989 to promote its premium agricultural products. A total of 6,138 products from 312 businesses in 14 categories have since received approval to use the CAS logo.
