The General Administration of Customs of China has approved the import of fresh pineapples from Myanmar, following a ban imposed in 2019 due to illegal export practices. To begin, Myanmar pineapple producers must secure approval from the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Irrigation of Myanmar and the General Administration of Customs of China. The approval process includes adherence to China's quarantine standards to address concerns such as specific pests. Additionally, the requirement for good agricultural practices (GAP) and integrated pest management (IPM) ensures food safety and quality. Over the first two years of export trade, Myanmar will conduct sampling inspections at a rate of 2% per batch, with plans to reduce the rate if no plant quarantine issues are identified within the initial period.
