African Swine Fever Key News
Central News Agency
(Pingtung County, by Huang Yu-ching, Central News Agency, June 11) After regaining 'Three Epidemic Clearance' status for Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD), African Swine Fever (ASF), and Classical Swine Fever (CSF) in April, Taiwan has returned to the international market. Taihsi Foods held a container sealing and export ceremony in Pingtung today, with the first batch of 500 cases of sausages scheduled to be available at Singapore's Sheng Siong Supermarket on the 25th.
Deputy Minister of Agriculture, Tu Wen-jane, said in a joint media interview that after the African Swine Fever incident in October last year, Taiwan achieved 'Three Epidemic Clearance' for FMD, ASF, and CSF this April, a rare success story globally. After regaining non-epidemic status, Singapore and the Philippines did not send inspectors but trusted that Taiwanese products met the regulations, demonstrating Taiwan's strength.
Taihsi Foods Chairman Chang Hua-hsin stated that the first export will be 500 cases, or 10,000 boxes, of classic original flavor sausages, expected to arrive in Singapore on the 25th. The initial focus will be on sausages, followed by exports of Dongpo pork, meatballs, and other products, with fresh pork as the long-term goal. This export is a significant milestone in expanding into the international market and will continue to promote high-quality Taiwanese pork products overseas, enhancing the international visibility of the Taiwanese pork brand.
Pingtung County Deputy Magistrate Huang Kuo-jung said the cooperation opportunity began with Presidential Office Secretary-General Pan Meng-an, who promoted agriculture in Singapore during his tenure as Pingtung County Magistrate. Singapore is also a Chinese-speaking market, and it is hoped that more food products can be introduced to the country, making it an important base for expanding into the Southeast Asian market.
Taihsi Foods stated that its original flavor sausages are made from high-quality Taiwanese pork, retaining the traditional Taiwanese sausage flavor with firm meat, a good balance of fat and lean, and rich aroma. This successful entry into a major Singaporean retail channel not only signifies the return of Taiwanese processed pork products to the international market but also symbolizes the official integration of Taiwanese specialty pork cuisine into the daily lives of Singaporean families. The first batch of export products is expected to be available at Sheng Siong Supermarket in Singapore on the 25th. (Editor: Wu Su-rou) 1150611
