The Ministry of Economic Affairs (MoEA) said it has temporarily lifted a ban on corn imports used as animal feed from mainland China to meet demand.
The ban, previously imposed as a measure to contain inflation, was lifted from Oct 1, 2007 but imports of China-made corn feed will be allowed only until March 31, 2008, according to an MoF statement.
Other measures in place to curb inflation included a demand for government-owned industries to scale down their exports of raw materials.
The government has said it will seek measures to meet domestic demand for raw materials.
