This positive result has been achieved through close and constructive cooperation between the Latvian Embassy in China, the Food and Veterinary Service and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Latvia. It should be noted that the opportunity to begin the export of fish products was promoted by the recent visit to China by the Latvian Minister of Agriculture, Jānis Dūklavs, and a business delegation from Latvia.

From 4 – 7 May, Minister Dūklavs, was on a visit to China during which he held discussions with high-ranking officials on the possibilities for increasing exports of Latvian food products to China.

As reported at the end of April 2015, the Certification and Accreditation Administration of the People’s Republic of China published on its website a list of ten Latvian food manufacturers which are allowed to export various types of dairy products to China, such as cheeses, milk powder, cream and ice-cream.
