Tridge summary
Recently, the General Administration of Customs website updated the list of new fresh fruits and their exporting countries/regions that have obtained China's inspection and quarantine approval, adding Dutch apples and Colombian Tahiti lemons.
Colombian Fresh Tahiti Lemon
The lemon, also known as lime, is Colombia's third-largest fresh export fruit after bananas and avocados.
Tahiti Lime is the most widely cultivated variety, capable of stable year-round supply. This variety has a thin skin, is seedless, fragrant, and juicy. The small fruits lack bitterness and are suitable for fresh consumption, juicing, and beverage production.
Dutch Fresh Apples
It is understood that 85-90% of Dutch apple production is sold domestically, with exports accounting for a small proportion. The Dutch apple cultivation area has continuously declined, from 15,000 hectares 26 years ago to 5,220 hectares in 2024. The annual Dutch apple production in 2024 is approximately 197,000 tons, of which about 43% (84,000 tons) are Elstar varieties, followed by Jonagold and Jonagored varieties (45,000 tons), Kanzi varieties (15,000 tons), and Rode Boskoop varieties (9,000 tons).
Colombian Fresh Bananas
Colombia is the world's fifth-largest banana exporter and has long been granted customs access. However, due to unstable high-quality sources, high maritime transportation costs, and intense market competition, it has not been able to achieve large-scale exports to China.
Recently, while approving limes, the General Administration of Customs also updated the plant quarantine requirements for Colombian fresh bananas, further refining the quarantine details.
The quarantine harmful organism of concern now includes Banana Bacterial Wilt Bacterium Type 2. If mature or cracked-skin bananas are found in shipments, those bananas will be destroyed. If Banana Bacterial Wilt Bacterium Type 2 is discovered, the entire shipment will be returned or destroyed.
