Romanian Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Tanczos Barna discussed with Turkish Minister of Agriculture and Forestry Ibrahim Yumakli the importance of facilitating, in the short term, the transit through Turkey of sheep carcasses and, in the medium and long term, the transit of live animals, in order to gain access to Middle Eastern markets."The two countries face similar challenges in the field of animal health. Turkey dealt with scrapie last year, while Romania is currently managing an outbreak of peste des petits ruminants. We can learn from each other's experience and act together to prevent and combat these diseases, which have a major impact on the livestock sector. Romania's immediate objective is to facilitate the transit of sheep carcasses and, in the medium and long term, the transit of live animals, so as to gain access to Middle Eastern markets," Tanczos Barna said, as quoted in a Ministry press release.According to the cited source, a delegation from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and the National Sanitary Veterinary and Food Safety Authority, led by Deputy Prime Minister and acting Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Tanczos Barna, paid a working visit to Ankara, where it held consultations with representatives of Turkey's Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry.During the visit, Deputy Prime Minister Tanczos Barna held a bilateral meeting with Turkey's Minister of Agriculture and Forestry, Ibrahim Yumakli. The discussions focused on strengthening cooperation in the agri-food sector, identifying new opportunities to expand agricultural trade, and deepening collaboration in the veterinary and sanitary field, with particular emphasis on facilitating the export and transit of Romanian sheep meat products and live animals through Turkish territory."I highlighted the importance of the strategic partnership between Romania and Turkey. Cooperation between the two countries in the field of agriculture is growing stronger and generating economic benefits for both sides," Tanczos Barna stressed.Following the ministerial meeting, representatives of the veterinary authorities of the two countries continued technical discussions on the conditions required to facilitate transit. Negotiations to identify solutions will continue next week.The bilateral meeting also covered Romanian agri-food products of interest to the Turkish market, particularly vegetables and dairy products.The Turkish side also expressed interest in importing cattle and beef from Romania, while the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development will support Romanian farmers in establishing business contacts with partners in Turkey.(Photo:https://www.madr.ro/comunicare.html)
