食品伙伴網訊    據澳大利亞媒體消息，中澳兩國有望簽署一項牛貿易協議，根據協議澳大利亞每年將向中國出口百萬只牛，價值高達10億美元。協議達成后，兩國活牛交易額將是目前的數倍。

    澳大利亞政府表示，牛貿易協議與目前兩國自貿協定談判無關。去年中國從澳大利亞進口7.8萬頭奶牛，1.5萬頭肉牛。

    Australia is on the cusp of securing a “breakthrough” live cattle deal with China worth up to $1 billion a year.

    While the deal is yet to be finalised, Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce said it has the potential to boost the price of cattle and help Australia's farmers.

    “Over a long period of time, we've been working [and] negotiating with the Chinese government… for the export of live animals into China,” Mr Joyce told reporters in Tamworth.
