Sadly it's possibly all a little bit silly really as that's only GBP10m a year, the talks took 2 years and the EU was in fact involved. The only reason that this is now allowed is because China now allows British pork imports as previously they were banned due to health reasons...

BREAKING NEWS: following ongoing UK government effort, Taiwan is preparing to open its market to British pork for the first time. The agreement is expected to be worth more than £50m to 🇬🇧 farmers over the next 5 years

Sadly it's possibly all a little bit silly really as that's only GBP10m a year, the talks took 2 years and the EU was in fact involved. The only reason that this is now allowed is because China now allows British pork imports as previously they were banned due to health reasons...
