Germany eager to import Pakistani fruits, restore fish imports

Posted by Flora Sawita Labels: , , , , ,


Germany has said European Union preferential trade deal could help Pakistani textile industry considerably increase its exports.

EU which imports around euro 83.7 billion of textile products per annum would welcome increased share of Pakistan in its promising market. Textiles account for over 60 percent of the total Pakistani exports to the EU.

The energy situation will need to be improved for the textile sector to get maximum benefit of the Pakistan waiver, said Samy Saadi, Trade Counsellor and head of Economic Section, embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany.

Talking to Samina Fazil, President Islamabad Women’s Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IWCCI), he said energy situation has harmed Pakistan exports to Germany and led to decrease in 2011.

German exports to Pakistan stood at $947 million while her imports from Pakistan stood at $1.2 billion, he informed.

Saadi said uniting and educating people related to agriculture could trigger development as current level of export of fruits, dairy and vegetables were relatively low. However, there is a great potential if production is improved, he added.

He said efforts were underway to introduce Pakistani agricultural products in Germany with the help of Metro.

He said Germany and the EU imports fish worth euro 15.5 billion euro and we were open to restoring fish imports from Pakistan.

Germany is eager to hike investment in Pakistan. “We are engaged in development cooperation focusing on energy, education, vocational training, health and governance and believe in more mutually beneficial commercial activity both ways”.

Samina Fazil stressed the need for enhanced support to Pakistani women entrepreneurs.

German refined beets sugar production up

Posted by Flora Sawita Labels: , , ,


Germany produced 4.772 million tonnes of refined sugar from beets in the 2011/12 season now ending, up from 3.442 million tonnes in the previous season, the association of German sugar industry WVZ said on Wednesday.

The figure was only marginally up from the 4.747 million tonnes given in the association's final sugar test on February 1.

All of Germany's sugar beet crop has now been processed, the association said.

Germany's sugar beet harvest has progressed very well in favourable weather and a sharp rise in sugar output is being achieved because of expanded planted area and high sugar content of beets, the head of WVZ told Reuters on December 7.

Germany: Virus lays low thousands of farm animals

Posted by Flora Sawita Labels: , ,

Thousands of cows, sheep and goats have been infected with a flu-like virus across Germany, with the number of infected herds increasing sharply over the weekend.

According to a report in Bild newspaper, the number of herds infected with the “Schmallenberg virus” has jumped from 34 to 314 since Friday, and more and more farms are reporting premature births and deformed baby animals since the virus hit.

Eight cow herds, 12 goat herds and as many as 294 sheep herds have been affected by the virus so far, mostly in the western state of North Rhine-Westphalia, but individual cases have also been found in 11 other German states.

According to the report, it is only a matter of time until the whole of Germany is affected.

The virus is transmitted by insect bites and has flu-like symptoms, including diarrhoea and fever.

Since so many animals are infected at the moment, experts are predicting an increase in the number of infected animals in the spring, when the young are born.

The current cold snap has slowed the virus for now, but since there is no cure, experts are predicting that the rate of infection will increase in the coming months.

But health authorities stress that there is no cause for undue alarm, since humans are immune to the virus.

The Schmallenberg virus is named after a small town in North Rhine-Westphalia where it was first recorded last November. The name is still considered informal, as scientists are still identifying and classifying it.

It has since been discovered on farms in Belgium, the Netherlands and Britain.
