Taiwan one of few East Asian countries to avoid H5N1
Taiwan, one of few East Asian countries to have avoided H5N1, is enjoying bumper exports of frozen ducks. Some importers chose frozen ducks from Taiwan and found they were superior for their needs and cheaper than ducks from elsewhere. On September 9, 2008, Central News Agency (Taiwan), using figures from Council of Agriculture (COA), said Taiwan maintained its traditional frozen duck export markets and opened new ones in 2007.
Taiwan raised 11 million ducks in 2007 with a production value of around US$193 million and fgained export revenues of US$26 million. Central News Agency interviewed Lin Chih-yuan, deputy manager of the Ger Chuan Foods Inc., a leading duck meat exporter, who said, “Even Japan, which has high hygiene standards for imported meat, welcomes Taiwan duck meat. In 2007, Taiwan sold 5,000 tons of duck meat to Japan to make Beijing duck,” Lin Chih-yuan said. Taiwan also succeeded in penetrating the South Korean market during 2007 and exported 700 tonnes of frozen whole ducks or duck meat for the year
