InfoQuest, (Sept. 17, 2019) -- Ms. Sermsuk Salakphet, an official of Department of Agriculture of Thailand (Thai DOA), announced that China will allow the imports of palm oil residue and rice from Thailand after a meeting with experts from the Animal and Plant Quarantine Bureau of the People's Republic of China.
The Chinese experts went to Thailand to inspect palm oil residue factories and rice bran factories, and worked with relevant Thai departments to draft a protocol for the export of palm oil residues and rice bran products. All the factories inspected meet the specified requirements and are rated as excellent. Only slight adjustments are needed. These four factories inspected and certified by China are allowed to export palm oil residues and rice bran to China.
Previously, Thai DOA applied seven factories for inspection and certification in order to export Thai palm oil residue and rice bran factories to China. China requested inspection and evaluation of four of them, which could be representatives of all the factories waiting to be evaluated, that is, as long as these four factories met standards, the remaining three ones did not need to be inspected and certified again, but to submit documents required by China for approval, and could also be the exporter if the relevant provisions were met.
The director of Thai DOA said that after obtaining the approval signed by the General Administration of Customs of the People's Republic of China, China would be willing to help promote the export of these two products. And Thai DOA would produce detailed export standards and conditions for them and notify relevant operators to strictly comply with them.
After China permitted the export of palm oil residues and rice bran, Thai enterprises could prepare for the deal this year, with the target exporting at least 10,000 tons of palm oil residues and rice bran per product per month at a price of 3.5 baht for per kilogram of palm oil residues and 8.6 baht per kilogram of rice bran, which was expected to bring at least 120 million baht of revenue to Thailand.
At present, because of the rapid development of animal husbandry in China, in June 2019, Thai DOA sent a letter to China requesting the opening of the palm oil residue and rice bran market, which could be used as raw materials of animal feed. The opening of the above two products markets was the first time that Thai companies exported raw materials of animal feed to China.
