Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The European Union (EU) has been supporting Zimbabwe to enable the country to upgrade its sanitary and laboratory standards for the resumption of beef exports to the Western bloc.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe\u2019s beef exports to the EU were suspended in August 2001 after an outbreak of foot-and-mouth (FMD) disease.<\/p>\n

The development negatively impacted the Cold Storage Commission (now Cold Storage Company)\u2019s operations.<\/p>\n

Before the ban, CSC had an annual quota to the EU of 9 100 tonnes of beef and had a $15 million revolving payment facility A with the EU under which it was paid in advance.<\/p>\n

Speaking during the International Business Conference (IBC) panel discussion in Bulawayo last week, EU Ambassador to Zimbabwe, Timo Olkkonen, said:<\/p>\n

There are issues outside of the trade rules that are creating technical barriers to trade that we have encountered and are restricting Zimbabwe\u2019s exports to the European Union.<\/p>\n

Beef is a topic that I have been presented with often because Zimbabwe used to benefit from guaranteed prices and quotas for beef exports into the European single market.<\/p>\n

This is no longer World Health Organisation compatible. There are problems with health standards that we experienced about 20 years ago that are still hampering export opportunities.<\/p>\n

So sanitary and laboratory standards or certifications are still an issue in Zimbabwe and the country has to depend on regional laboratories.<\/p>\n

But the EU has been collaborating and rendering support to Zimbabwe. We are very much interested to continue our support to boost Zimbabwe\u2019s export to the EU.<\/p>\n

The CSC factory in Bulawayo has been undergoing rehabilitation for some time but missed the April 2022 deadline to resume operations after years of closure.<\/p>\n
