Taiwan expects to resume pork exportsStaff writer, with CNATaiwan would resume fresh pork exports in the second half of this year if the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) declares it a foot-and-mouth disease (FMD)- free country where vaccination is not practiced, the Council of Agriculture (COA) said on Monday. After passing various tests and verification, the nation expects to receive notification from the OIE of its FMD-free without vaccination status in the middle of this month, the council said. That would make Taiwan one of only two Asian countries other than Japan with that status, it said. Taiwan currently exports only certain processed pork products to a handful of nations, the council said. The OIE is likely to formally notify Taiwan later this month after completing all required procedures, the council said.
