Taiwan lifts 16-year-old ban on Japanese beef imports

 

 

In July, the Food and Drug Administration issued a two-month notification that the country had decided in principle to remove the restrictions, according to Japan Times.

The Taiwanese authorities are now waiting to receive a list from the Japanese government with government-certified meat facilities from which the Taiwanese importers can import Japanese beef.

Taiwan imports about 95% of its beef, USA being its biggest supplier, followed by Australia and New Zealand.

IN 2000, Japan exported a small amount of beef and beef products to Taiwan, 4 tons respectively, representing just about 0.01% of the total amount of beef imported by Taiwan.
