The Bord Bia trade mission to Indonesia and Malaysia concludes this Thursday with the news that a veterinary health certificate for the export of pigmeat from Ireland to Malaysia has been agreed.
“This is very positive news, as the Malaysian market has been on the radar of our pigmeat industry for some time,” Minister for Agriculture Michael Creed said after a series of meetings in Kuala Lumpur.
There are a number of steps remaining before market access is finalised, including an inspection visit from the Malaysian authorities.

Milestone
“Agreement on a veterinary health cert is an important milestone in this process. It follows on from technical discussions between officials from my Department and their Malaysian counterparts, as well as my bilateral meeting with Minister Salahuddin,” Creed said.
Malaysia is one of the top five meat markets studied by Bord Bia as part of its market prioritisation exercise on behalf of the Department of Agriculture.
“Poultry is another meat that has been of significant interest to Ireland in terms of market access and today’s meetings served as a useful chance to discuss our ongoing poultry application.”
An invitation was given to Malaysian Minister Salahuddin and colleagues to visit Ireland in 2019.
