Negotiations for access to the Taiwanese market involve several key agricultural and food products. Here are the detailed information about some of them:
• Fresh Apples: Poland is working on gaining access to the Taiwanese market for fresh apples. In 2014, Poland submitted a request for a Pest Risk Analysis (PRA) for apples, which was reiterated in the same year. The procedure is still ongoing, and Polish apples have the potential to increase their presence in the Taiwanese market.
• Resumption of Poultry Meat, Hatching Eggs, and Day-Old Chicks Exports: On July 26, 2017, the Chief Veterinary Inspectorate (GIW) submitted a questionnaire to the Taiwanese veterinary authorities regarding the recognition of Poland as a country free from highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI). This is an important step towards resuming the export of these products.
• Pork Meat Export: Currently, efforts are underway to resume the export of pork meat from Poland to Taiwan. The problem lies in the regionalization of African swine fever (ASF), which prevents export. However, the agreed certificate offers hope for future trade opportunities.
