Mexican pork

MEXICO'S Agricultural Minister Francisco Mayorga Castaneda said the country is seeking to start pork exports to China.

"China-Mexico trade is still very low. There is great interest on both sides, but we have not completely resolved some food and animal health issues," the minister said on Wednesday.

During a visit to China in 2008, Mexican President Felipe Calderon signed a deal with his Chinese counterpart Hu Jintao on duty-free Mexican pork exports to China.

However, no pork has been exported because China has not yet sent animal hygiene inspectors to Mexico.

Castaneda said he plans to visit China at the end of this year in hope of reaching an agricultural trade agreement with China.
