碩士 === 淡江大學 === 亞洲研究所數位學習碩士在職專班 === 104 === This research seeks to determine the feasibility of expanding Paraguayan beef exports to the Republic of China (Taiwan) (2008-2014), through a study of the situation of meat production in Paraguay, its global exports, international and Taiwanese zoosanitary requirements, Taiwanese import rules and beef quotas, and interviews with Paraguayan plants authorized to export to Taiwan. It is concluded that the factors that have affected the export are the limited quotas, the outbreak of FMD in 2011, geographic distance, the cost of freight and the language barrier, maintaining the health status of country free of afthosa with vaccination, the size of the beef market in Taiwan, the recognition of Paraguayan beef quality and compliance with standards of animal health, safety and quality of the OIE and of the Taiwan authorities. Moreover, conclusions based on the survey of people working in three plants authorized to export to the Republic of China (Taiwan) as well as officials of SENACSA, Rediex and MRE are offered.
