KUALA LUMPUR, April 19 (Bernama) - The China market is open to Malaysian bird's nest entrepreneurs wishing to export their products to the country, says Agriculture and Agro-Based Industry Minister Datuk Seri Noh Omar.

However, they must possess the Veterinary Health Mark (VHM) from Veterinary Services Department, Veterinary Health Certificate from the Health Ministry and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), a system to detect the origin of bird's nests.

"The government imposed the three main conditions as proactive measure to ensure that products exported to China are of high quality," he told reporters after opening the 6th International Discus Show Malaysia 2012 here Thursday.

The conditions were to protect them from being caught in the smuggling of birds' nests adding the industry had to be assisted to prevent losses to all parties.

Noh also denied a claim by 200 entrepreneurs in a Chinese newspaper recently that the export of bird's nest was monopolised by certain companies.

PUTRAJAYA: Deputy Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister Datuk Chua Tee Yong dispelled fears that only one company will be given the monopoly to export bird's nest to China. He said the assumption was unfounded because China would not want only one company sending bird's nest to the country.
“We believe they would like to have choices.
“China is our major buyer, so it is important that we fulfil their requirements,” he said, adding that this included having a list of companies and not just one.
Speaking to newsmen after a meeting with a delegation from the Zhanjiang Foreign Affairs Bureau here, Chua said bird's nest producers and exporters should stop speculating.
“The draft protocol on the entry of the product into China is still being discussed between the two countries.
“Speculating and jumping to conclusion that only one company will be appointed to handle the export is not going to help.
“We must understand that our goal is to settle the market access problem and as such we must fulfil what China needs,” he said.
Chua also said it was not fair to accuse the ministry for the delay in signing the export protocol.
“We cannot rush them (into agreeing on the protocol) because they have to look into their requirements such as the safety issues,” he said.
On the meeting, Chua said Zhanjiang deputy mayor Chen Anming who headed the delegation had extended a proposal to Malaysia to participate in its agricultural industrial park project.
“They felt Malaysia could gain a lot by participating in the project as Zhanjiang is located near Southeast Asia,” he said.

Pernah tak anda terpikir sejauh mana sumber makanan bagi burung walet akan berterusan?? Ya,perkara sebegini tidak dapat kita jangkakan apa yang akan terjadi nanti. Namun, tuhan telah memberi setiap hambanya akal fikiran supaya dapat kita berfikir dan mencari jalan penyelesaiannya.

Sebelum ini kita hanya tahu penternakan hanya untuk burung walet, tetapi sumber makanannya, yakni serangga-serangga kecil didapati daripada tumbuhan-tumbuhan hijau yang berkembang mekar di setiap pelosok negara kita. Dengan sifatnya si walet yang berterbangan bebas tanpa henti hampir satu hari (keluar selepas subuh dan pulang sebelum/ketika maghrib) demi mencari sumber makanannya. Si walet sanggup terbang 90km (45km pergi, 45km balik) satu hari supaya mereka tidak kebuluran.

Namun kini, permasalahan itu dapat diatasi tanpa perlu si walet terbang terlalu jauh demi 'sesuap nasi' untuk terus menghasilkan sarang-sarang yang berkualiti. Serangga yang dulunya didapati dari tumbuhan-tumbuhan hijau kini sudah boleh diternak!! YA!! boleh DITERNAK!! sudah pasti ramai yang tertanya-tanya betul ke??macam mana tu??mustahil lah...Telah TUHAN jadikan kita manusia agung yang berakal fikiran untuk mencari dan menterjemahkan penyelesaiaannya. ini sekaligus dapat memikat lebih banyak walet datang menghampiri RBW kita dan terus menginap di situ. Di sini saya kongsikan sedikit sisipan daripada projek penternakan serangga yang berjaya. Untuk mengetahui dengan lebih detail boleh teru hubungi saya.... 013-22.77.0.60 Rahimi
