TALLINN, Nov. 25 (Xinhua) -- The Estonian dairy industry is eyeing on exporting to new markets including China and Africa due to European overproduction of diary products.
At the annual Dairy Forum organized by Estonian Chamber of Agriculture and Commerce on Friday, Estonian Minister of Rural Affairs Martin Repinski termed the milk overproduction as an opportunity to export to new markets.
From the perspectives of agricultural trade between China and Estonia, Chinese Ambassador to Estonia Qu Zhe tackled on how to promote dairy trade between China and Estonia, referring to the protocol on dairy product quality inspection cooperation signed by the two sides earlier this year.
He listed joint efforts of government and businesses to promote Estonia and its products in China for the Baltic country's ecological and environmental value, as well as the high quality of Estonian agriculture products, including dairy, through innovative sales channels including e-commerce.
Under the theme of "Overproduction as breeding ground of export", the forum aims to direct the focus to dairy export, which is an opportunity to energize the Estonian economy, rural life and agriculture as a whole, expecting to build a strong dairy sector and gain better knowledge about new markets including Africa.
About 100 delegates participated the forum with speakers from Germany and France as well.
