The Chinese
want to buy meat products of one billion Euros. More like Romania can offer. The
Chinese want to buy in Romania animals and meat products worth one billion Euros.
Paradoxically, however, Romanian farms do not have sufficient production to
sell. Romania does not have enough pigs and cows farms to cope with such a
request and at the same time, ensure domestic consumption.
Even now, Romania imports massive amounts of meat, worth six to ten millions of Euros every year. The Beijing government wants to turn Romanian country into a provider of food for the Chinese people. Visiting Bucharest -Romania, Premier Li Keqiang has been interested in wine and Romanian traditional products exposed to Parliament House. Chinese official stopped at vegetable stand, where they appear reddish Romanian. As soon as they set foot in Romania, the Chinese were interested in Romanian livestock. They want to buy six million pigs and sheep every years. Three million pigs required by Chinese represent over 60 % of all animals that Romanian have. How about the three million sheep, this means 20% of the domestic Romanian production. Faced with strong demand for animals, Romanian authorities seek solutions.
"In the
cattle there is a clear commitment for the next 7-10 years, the Chinese side,
there has to come up with programs to increase the numbers," says Daniel
Constantin, Romanian Minister of Agriculture.
"I believe that there is even such a large surplus of animals in Romania, because the animals are slow-growing," says Michael Tatu, farmer Haghig, Brasov County.
It will be
harder to cover export demand as, year after year, Romania buys pork, for
example from Germany and Hungary. Only the first half of this year, pork took
first place in the standings food imports.
