Constantin said Romania hasn’t so far signed a memorandum with China targeting meat products and livestock, adding Chinese officials will come to Romania in November for talks on the issue.
The minister also said Romania has potential to export to both China and Russia not only meat, but also wine, honey and even organic foods.
The Romanian Agriculture Ministry said in a statement Monday that Russia will send specialists to Romanian meat production and processing units interested to export on the Russian market, which could result in lifting a ban instated in 1996 for imports of meat and animal products.
In 1996, Russia banned animal product imports from Romania on account of swine fever.
