Chicken Export to China from UK
Question
Is it possible to export chicken breast to china from the UK?
We use chicken breast (sourced from Thailand) in our ambient meals and have identified a distributer in China who is interested in our products.
Answer
Dear Sir/Madam
Unfortunately, there is currently no way to export chicken directly into China.
My colleague, Claire Urry and Holly Chen specialises in the Agric / Food sector between China and the UK. I strongly recommend you contact them for further information and clarification.

Answer
Thankyou for your reply, I will contact your colleagues for clarification.
I am aware that Tesco exports chicken feet from the UK to China, so I’m surprised that we cannot export the chicken meat!
Best regards,
Mike
