Indonesia open to Canadian beef and pork


 Indonesia has opened its country to more Canadian beef and pork, the Canadian government announced recently.


Its news release came just as the United States and Indonesia signed a trade agreement.


For beef, the policy change allows imports of bone-in beef cuts; previously beef imports were restricted to boneless beef. The country will also be open to beef offals.


“A market of almost 300 million people is obviously an important one for Canadian producers. That’s why this step in diversifying Canada’s pork export markets is so crucial,” said Canadian Pork Council chairman RenĂ© Roy.

The federal government said it continues to negotiate export certificates for live breeding cattle, live swine, genetic material and bovine embryos.
