Tridge summary

The Argentine health authority has approved the non-regulation of fruit flies in Peruvian granadilla exports, opening up a new market for the product. This approval is set to particularly benefit family farming producers in Peru's mountainous and jungle regions. The export of granadilla will now require an official inspection by SENASA and obtaining a Phytosanitary Certificate to meet the requirements of the importing country. In 2021, the certified volume for granadilla export increased by 155% compared to 2020, with Bolivia being the main importer. A study conducted between 2016 and 2018 confirms that passion fruit, the main component of granadilla, is not a host for two species of fruit flies, which will likely help Peru gain access to more international markets.
