reason for this summer¶s hiJh

West 1ile virus cases are

mans and horses. %aNer said
he suspects that the drouJht
has forced viruscarryinJ mos
Tuitoes to scout for Zater and
that they are ¿ ndinJ it near an

%ut he also said he thinNs
some horse oZners have let
their Juard doZn.
The state Department of
AJriculture has con¿ rmed
horses Zith West 1ile virus so
far this summer. The state con
¿ rmed only eiJht cases in the

said.
³Animal oZners tend to
have amnesia after a feZ
years,´ %aNer said. ³, thinN
that¶s playinJ some role in
Zhat Ze¶re seeinJ.´
Vaccinations

%aNer, Zho spent a decade
early in his career e[clusively
treatinJ horses, urJed oZners
to vaccinate their horses year

A horse Jiven its ¿ rst shot

bolster the immunity, he said.
9accinations Jiven noZ Zill

ne[t year¶s mosTuito season,
%aNer said.
A dose of vaccine costs

About onethird of infect
ed horses die, accordinJ to
the state . %aNer said about
percent of the survivors suffer
permanent damaJe, such as
blindness, loss of balance and
ZeaN limbs.
Most eTuine West 1ile

Pests and diseases that may

a concern to be ZorNed out, he
said, as are food safety proto
cols.
³The 9ietnamese and Phil
ippine Jovernments are very
Neen on broadeninJ the scope
of Zhat comes in from the
8.6.,´ he said. ³The JroZth po
tential seems huJe to me.´
Processed and fro]en prod
ucts such as french fries are
popular in Asian countries, as
are ³chippinJ´ potatoes used
for snacNs, but JroZer Jroups
are tryinJ to e[pand the trade
to include more fresh ³table
China and Japan
as markets
Asia¶s tZo biJJest econo
mies hold continued economic
promise for OreJon. China noZ
accepts only processed potato
products and could be a Jreat
marNet for chippinJ and table
stocN potatoes, %reZer said.
-apan is the number one mar
Net for processed potatoes and
accepts fresh potatoes for chip
pinJ, but also could be Jood
marNet for table stocN potatoes,
he said.
Potato JroZer -eff 8rbach, of
Amstad Produce in 6herZood,
said he¶s visited the Philippines
tZice and 9ietnam ¿ ve or si[
times. He sells to both, and said
e[ports have JroZn from per
cent of his business four years
aJo to percent noZ.
³The potential there is huJe,
they Zant our products,´ 8r
bach said.
%ecause OreJon ³faces´
Asia, as e[porters liNe to say,
Asian trade is a natural, e[perts
say. About percent of Zhat
OreJon e[ports Joes to Pa
ci¿ c Rim nations, a cateJory
that includes the ¿ ve larJest
marNets Canada, China, -apan,
.orea and Malaysia. Those ¿ ve
alone receive percent of Zhat
OreJon e[ports, accordinJ state
economic analyst -osh /ehner.
Largest sector

OreJon¶s larJest e[port
sector is electronics, folloZed

third.
%arry HoroZit], an inter
national trade consultant in
Portland, said OreJon food and
crop commissions previous
ly operated on their oZn but
noZ are beJinninJ to cooper
ate in presentations to foreiJn
buyers. ThinNinJ of OreJon¶s
hiJhTuality food products as a
series of meals, complete Zith
OreJon beer and Zine, sharp
ens the focus, he said.
³That is a pacNaJe that is
unbeatable in the international
marNetplace,´ he said.
([panded trade Zith 9iet
nam is an e[ample of the e[port
potential that could bene¿ t the
state, he said.
³<ou have a country Zith
almost million people and
a literacy rate over per

countries can¶t Jet in there fast
enouJh.´
9ietnamese distrust of Chi
nese food products ZorNs to
the advantaJe of OreJon pro
ducers, Zho have ³developed
a hiJhly visible reputation for
hiJh Tuality food,´ he said.
³We¶re not the most inter
nationally minded place but
Ze have enormous potential,
because aJ is a fundamental
industry everyZhere,´ HoroZ
it] said. ³We can¶t talN ,ntel to
