Asunción, Agencia IP.- The Republic of China (Taiwan) has officially established a zero tariff on Paraguayan pork, with this exceptional measure set to take effect starting July 5. The government highlighted this as a historic achievement that will bring changes to Paraguayan exports and offer greater opportunities to local industries that generate employment.
The Minister of Industry and Commerce, Javier Giménez, emphasized that this is a historic breakthrough for the national pork sector, considering that the Asian market is the largest consumer of this protein. It is worth noting that the industry previously paid a 12.5% tariff to enter the Taiwanese market.
«This will mark a before and after in our relationship with our brother country, the Republic of China (Taiwan), but most importantly, it will boost our industry and job creation across the entire value chain,» said Giménez.
He mentioned that Paraguay currently ranks third in pork exports to Taiwan and hopes that with this preferential treatment, it could rise to first place in a few years.
