CNCA Visit NI To Assess Pork Processing Premises To Export
The Agriculture and Rural Development Minister has welcomed the upcoming inspection by the Chinese Certification and Accreditation Administration (CNCA) who are visiting Northern Ireland this week to assess pork processing premises to export.
Minister Michelle O'Neill said: "I am delighted that the CNCA inspectors will be in the north next week to assess our pig meat production standards. A successful inspection is an important final step in securing approval for our industry to export pork to China.
"This inspection by the CNCA follows an audit of our processors by a separate team of Chinese inspectors earlier this month to approve the north and Britain to export trotters. Being able to export such fifth quarter, in addition to our high quality pork, is important for our industry as it will provide a valuable market for those parts of the animal which would not usually be consumed by the domestic market."
Following the inspection, planned for 27 and 28 April, the CNCA will make a final determination on approving the north to export pig meat and pig meat products to China.
