00:00For the first time, Polish beef is set to be shipped to the Chinese market.
00:07Paweł Zaczewski is one of the country's first meat producers to apply for the export license.
00:14China is a very big market. We can expand the quantities that we produce a lot.
00:20If we finish the registration process, we will be fully allowed to export our meat to the Chinese market.
00:27While Poland is importing many goods from China, exports to the People's Republic have been modest.
00:35Now Warsaw is hoping China will wider open its market to Polish meat products such as poultry, pork and beef to balance out trade relations.
00:46Poland is already the European Union's largest poultry producer and is looking to use this know-how to increase its beef production.
00:55Zaczewski's family business recently opened its fourth meat plant in Poland, creating capacity to expand to new markets like China.
01:05According to this protocol, we have to register in a special system and we have to fulfill all the veterinary requirements stated by the Chinese authorities.
01:16One of his competitors has already completed the export registration.
01:20Zaczewski hopes he can follow and start exporting boneless beef to China within a few weeks.
