Bob Anderson, senior trade advisor, and Monique Marez, associate director for international trade, will lead an organic diplomacy mission in Taiwan in early June. According to the latest HTS Code report, Taiwan is a key destination for US organic exports. Nevertheless, exporting products to Taiwan can be challenging, for example there are differences in MRL standards particular to Taiwan that impact various parts of the organic supply chain. As such, OTA is heading to Taipei to meet with US and Taiwanese officials to discuss the current state of organic trade with the US and Taiwan, and to host an info session and meet and greet with key Taiwanese importers. In addition OTA will spend an afternoon with a lead certifier in Taiwan to learn more about the Taiwanese organic program. For more information about OTA’s work in Taiwan, please contact Monique.
