Peru is set to export donkey meat to China following the signing of health protocols between China's Customs Administration and Peru's National Agrarian Health Service. The head of Peru's Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism, Elizabeth Galdo, stated that the meat is crucial for the production of ejiao, a Chinese product used in traditional medicine and beauty treatments. The signing of the protocols is significant as China is now Peru's main trading partner, with 32% of exports headed there.
