Tridge summary

China has permitted the resumption of Taiwan's regional pomelo imports, requiring the produce to originate from registered packaging plants and orchards. This decision follows a two-year suspension on Taiwan's citrus fruit exports to China, initiated in 2021 due to the detection of quarantine pests and excessive pesticide residues. Despite ongoing dialogue through the 'Cross-Strait Agricultural Products Quarantine and Inspection Cooperation Agreement', Taiwan has not received positive responses from China to resume trade.

This development comes as a delegation led by Fu Kunqi, the convener of the KMT Legislative Yuan, sought to discuss resuming imports of Taiwanese agricultural and fishery products to the mainland.
