India and China Sign Protocol for export of fish meal & fish oil to China: Details, Aim, Highlights
India and China signed a protocol on hygiene and inspection requirements for the export of fish meal and fish oil from India to China. China had so far not allowed these exports from India.
It was signed during the visit of Hu Wei, the Vice Minister of China’s General Administration of Customs. China's Hu Wei, who led a six-member delegation to India, met India’s Commerce Secretary Anup Wadhawan during his visit and discussed various issues of market access for different products.
The Chinese delegation also discussed issues regarding market access for products such as milk and milk products, agricultural goods like soy meal, fruits and vegetables, tobacco and pharmaceuticals.
This is significant, as India has been seeking market access for these items from China. This is the second Indian product to get clearance from China in the last six months.
A few months ago, during the meeting of the two countries in Wuhan, the protocol for Indian rice export to China was signed paving the way for export of Indian rice to China.
China imports fish oil to the tune of USD 143.29 million per year and fish meal worth USD 263.43 million.
