The Philippine Star
|March 17, 2024
PRAGUE - The Philippines is eyeing the importation of meat products from Czech Republic, President Marcos said yesterday ahead of the visit of Czech agriculture officials and business delegation to the country next week.
In an interview with the Philippine media who covered his three-day state visit here, the President said the Department of Agriculture (DA) is now conducting exploratory talks with its Czech counterpart for the country's livestock products.
"Our interest really is the trade in meat products. They (Czech) export beef - Secretary Kiko told me earlier. They have technologies to make medicine to improve the condition of their livestock," Marcos said, referring to Agriculture Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel Jr.
Laurel joined Marcos' visits to Germany and Czech Republic.
