China resume imports of Namibian beef
Namibian beef exports to China have been resumed this wee, according to a press release from the General Administration of Customs of China (GACC). 15, beef products from Namibia have been re-allowed to enter the Chinese market as the risk of spreading Contagious Bovine PleuroPneumonia (CBPP) to the Chinese herd. Two months ago, China decided to suspend beef imports from Namibia after a CBPP outbreak was reported in some regions of the African country.
Namibia is a beef supplier in the Chinese market since 2019, when the first batch of products, totaling 21 tonnes of beef, was shipped to this market. Two Namibian beef plants are allowed so far to export frozen and chilled beef products to China. Namibian beef is considered to be a high-value product in markets such as the US, UK, or China, and the volumes exported are usually small.
