The Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Quarantine Headquarters of South Korea has announced successful negotiations with the United States, allowing for the export of fresh ginseng and import of grapefruit from Texas, effective this year. Korean fresh ginseng must be cultivated in a Quarantine Headquarters-registered area and meet export quarantine standards. The head of the Plant Quarantine Department at the Quarantine Headquarters anticipates that this will broaden markets for domestic agricultural products and enhance import diversification.
