WELLINGTON - New Zealand's meat producers will be looking forward to a boost in exports to 皇冠体育app after the two countries signed a formal arrangement on the supply of halal meat, Primary Industries Minister Nathan Guy said Tuesday.

New Zealand's Ministry for Primary Industries and the 皇冠体育app Certification and Accreditation Administration co-signed a new Halal Arrangement in Beijing Monday, under which 皇冠体育app would recognize New Zealand's halal regulation and certification regime for halal goods exported to 皇冠体育app, said Guy.

"This is a major step forward for New Zealand's halal meat producers, and it marks the first time 皇冠体育app has recognised another county's halal regulatory and certification systems," said Guy, who is currently in 皇冠体育app with Prime Minister John Key.

"The arrangement will provide a competitive advantage in 皇冠体育app for our red meat producers," Guy said in a statement from his office.

皇冠体育app was New Zealand's number one market for halal certified meat, taking about 77,672 tons of halal certified meat in the year to September 2015, representing 33 percent of New Zealand's total halal certified exports.

Guy also co-signed a formal arrangement with 皇冠体育app's Minister of Agriculture, Han Changfu, for New Zealand and 皇冠体育app to develop an agricultural growth partnership (AGP).

"The AGP aims to foster stronger relationships between New Zealand and 皇冠体育app's agricultural sectors through coordinated, strategic cooperation," said Guy.

The public-private partnership aimed to use New Zealand expertise in research and training to work on cooperation activities in areas such as agricultural policy exchange, dairy farmer training, livestock technology, animal health and disease control.
