 Shanghai, China, July 5, 2010 – Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz has completed his third successful trade mission to China in less than a year. During the mission, China agreed to take the vital regulatory step to formally lift the ban on Canadian boneless beef under thirty months (UTM) and tallow for industrial use, effective July 3.This essential move, taken just over a week after the initial agreement for full staged Chinese market access for Canadian beef, is a clear indication of the strong trade partnership between Canada and China.
“There’s a world of opportunity for our producers in China, and that future is built on a history of strong trade partnership,” said Minister Ritz. “This is a vital step forward in the breakthrough agreement that will see Canada’s safe, high quality beef back on Chinese store shelves and more black back on the bottom line for producers.”
Minister Ritz kicked off his mission by serving up the first plates of Canadian beef available in China in almost a decade at the Shanghai World Expo 2010 with Her Excellency the Right Honourable Michaëlle Jean, Governor General of Canada in celebration of Canada Day. Also on hand was Gib Drury, Board Chair of the Canada Beef Export Federation, and Travis Toews, President of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, who rolled up their sleeves to help cook up and promote the special delivery of Canadian beef, as well as Canada's world-class pork in a delicious canola marinade. |
