Macedonia becomes official beef exporter in EU

Macedonia has been officially included in the list of countries-exporters of fresh beef in the European Union, said Food and Veterinary Agency director Zoran Popovski on Wednesday.

"As of March 7, Macedonian meat processing companies and slaughterhouses can export beef not only in EU members, but also third countries. This means distribution to new markets, but also a chance for fresh domestic and foreign investments in the sector", said Popovski.

As of January, Macedonia has been also included in the list of countries-exporters of eggs, poultry, poultry meat and fish at the EU markets.
