Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Twitter Tuesday that China has lifted its ban imports of Canadian pork and beef. “Good news for Canadian farmers today: Canadian pork and beef exports to China will resume.”
Trudeau credited Dominic Barton, the recently appointed Canadian ambassador to China, and the country’s meat industry for “reopening this important market for our meat producers and their families.”
The move ends a four-month long trade dispute that started soon after Canada arrested a Huawei executive at the request of the U.S.
Pork processed on or after November 5 is eligible to be shipped to China, meaning that provided the proper paperwork accompanies shipments, exports can start nearly immediately.
However, there was no news on the situation with canola or soybean trade between the two countries.
