Asunción, Agencia IP.- Paraguay reaches a historic milestone yesterday by confirming zero-tariff for pork exports to Taiwan. This will increase domestic production shipments and create job opportunities within this industry. It is worth mentioning that the sector previously paid 12,5% to enter the Taiwanese market.
The announcement was made by the Minister of Industry and Commerce (MIC), Javier Giménez, accompanied by the Ambassador of Taiwan, José Chih-Cheng Han, and representatives from the productive sector, who met with the President of the Republic, Santiago Peña, at Mburuvicha Róga.
Taiwan represents the largest export market for Paraguayan pork, with 90% of total exports. The opening of this market allowed shipments to reach 7,689 tons in 2023. So far this year, 1,195 tons have already been sent, according to data from the National Service for Quality and Animal Health (Senacsa, by its acronym in Spanish).
In 2023, this sector achieved a historic peak in pork exports to the Taiwanese market, registering a 541% increase in volume shipped compared to the total sent in 2022. These numbers demonstrate the positive commercial relationship between both nations, which contributes to bilateral economic growth.
