Portugal's dairy companies now permitted to export to China

With the certification of 31 Portuguese dairy companies by China, those organisations are now permitted to export to the country, said Portuguese deputy prime minister, Paulo Portas after a meeting with Chinese President, Xi Jinping.

At the meeting on the island of Terceira, Portugal, Portas and Xi Jinping discussed international and two-way topics, "with a particular focus on boosting economic cooperation," the Portuguese minister said.

Portas noted that China has published "the certification of 31 Portuguese companies which, from now on, will be able to export milk and dairy products to the Chinese market".

The minister also added that other negotiations in the agro-food sector are progressing well.
