Uzbekistan has suspended the import of tangerines and pineapples from China: dangerous pests have been detected

In Uzbekistan, a temporary ban on the import of mandarins and pineapples from the People's Republic of China has been introduced, reports EastFruit. This decision was made due to the regular detection of quarantine objects in batches of fruit supplied from China. Selected samples of imported mandarins and pineapples were examined in the Central Phytosanitary Laboratory. As a result of the examination, dangerous quarantine pests were found in the products, including the citrus whitefly (Dialeurodes citri Ashmead), the eastern citrus scale (Unaspis yanonensis Kuwana), and the pineapple mealybug (Dysmicoccus brevipes Cockerell). Harmful organisms were detected in approximately 20 batches of shipments.
