The facility was also installed by Chinese experts.<\/p>\n<p>The report states that the Pakistani government is, however, undertaking a vaccination programme and making an animal quarantine zone in the desert of Cholistan to address the FMD issue.<\/p>\n<p>This way, Pakistan is expected to move from the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE)\u2019s Stage-2 category for countries (in which FMD is reduced to target areas) to Stage-3.<\/p>\n<p>In the third stage, the FMD virus is curtailed via an organized national Official Control Program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce Pakistan achieves the Stage-3 status, the opportunity to export beef to larger markets like China will open up\u201d, the report states.<\/p>\n<p>Access to the Chinese market will provide Pakistan with a good opportunity to enter a large market in future.<\/p>\n<p>China has granted Pakistan duty-free access to bovine meat under China-Pakistan Free Trade Agreement\u2013II (CPFTA-II) in 5 of the 6 categories, the report stated.<\/p>\n<p>China applies a 13% Value-Added Tax on imports of beef products.<\/p>\n<p>For WTO member countries, the most-favoured nation duty rates range from 25% for frozen carcasses to 12% for most beef products and offal.<\/p>\n<div class=\"td-g-rec td-g-rec-id-content_bottom tdi_3_f57 td_block_template_14 \"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent report
