The country’s bid to become an exporter of major agricultural products to its neighbors in the region starts tomorrow when I meet with the South Korean Agriculture Minister in Seoul to discuss arrangements for the export of yellow corn, dressed chicken, dressed ducks and eggs.
At 1 a.m. tomorrow, I will be taking an early morning flight to Incheon for a two-day visit which will be highlighted by my official meeting with the Agriculture Minister in Seoul.
It will be a quick trip as I will be flying back to the country Wednesday night.
The South Korean trip is a result of the initial efforts by the Department of Agriculture to offer to South Korea dressed chicken, ducks and eggs following the outbreak of Bird Flu in the country which resulting in the culling of over 30-million chicken.
Following the outbreak of the Bird Flu, I met with poultry farmers in the country and asked them if the sector is ready to export to South Korea.
The stakeholders were excited with the prospect of exporting their products to South Korea, including dressed ducks and eggs.
The export of yellow corn to South Korea will also be discussed as the country is expected to post a bumper harvest of yellow corn this year, in spite of the natural calamities which hit Northern Luzon.
Should South Korea buy yellow corn from the Philippines, this will be the first time, the country will be exporting yellow corn.
