Talks between the Chinese president, Xi Jinping and the Enrique Pena Nieto of Mexico have broken the ice that had accumulated over years between these two countries and their trade relationship. The Mexican tequila gets exported to more than 100 countries regularly but the Chinese laws and regulations prohibited tequila from taking over the Chinese market full of buyers. Just last week the Chinese law regarding tequila importation got a makeover and it has been formally declared that tequila is not as dangerous as it was supposed to be. This is especially true for the blue agave, which is the most loved and pure form of tequila produced in Mexico.

Ramon Gonzalez, who is the director of Mexico’s tequila promotion council, has stated if they can take tequila to China then, in the next five years, they will be able to export 10 million liters to the country. The country which presently tops the list of tequila buyers is the United States of America. The American is infamous for their love for margarita which is made with tequila. China has a ready population of 1.3 billion people who can buy tequila. At present Mexico churns out 43.7 million gallons of tequila for export. 80 percent of the total amount of tequila exported is consumed by the US. Until now only 108,000 gallons were exported to China.
