Gov. Mark Parkinson says he has been assured that Taiwan will soon ease restrictions on imports of U.S. beef.
Parkinson met in Taiwan last week with President Ma Ying-jeou (mah yeeng-joh) during a trade mission to the island nation. Parkinson says Ma indicated Taiwan would soon begin accepting shipments of U.S. beef, although no timetable was given.
The governor spoke Wednesday about his trip with other Kansas officials to Taiwan to discuss possible increases in exports of Kansas goods.
Taiwan recently agreed to buy $425 million worth of wheat from the United States, most of which will come from Kansas.
