Tridge summary

Tajikistan has been approved by China to export fresh persimmons, making it the fourth country to do so after Taiwan, Spain, and New Zealand. With an annual production of around 30,000 tons, Tajikistan exported over 2,000 tons in 2022, generating $422,000. However, to begin exporting to China, Tajikistan must adhere to China's plant quarantine requirements, including establishing a quality and traceability system, implementing good agricultural practices and integrated pest management, and ensuring the packaging factory is clean and hygienic. Inspecting 2% of each batch in the first two years and reducing the rate to 1% thereafter, provided no plant quarantine issues are identified, are among the additional conditions.
