Hong Kong tightens inspections of Taiwan pineapples
Following China's ban, Hong Kong will destroy contents of fruit containers if bugs found
TAIPEI (Taiwan News) ? The authorities in Hong Kong are tightening their inspections of fruit
imports from Taiwan, leading to speculation that the territory will soon follow in the footsteps of
China and ban imports of Taiwanese pineapples, reports said Thursday (March 4).
China’s unexpected ban on March 1 touched off outrage in Taiwan, with Beijing’s claim it had
found “harmful creatures” on the fruit seen as a thinly veiled excuse for a politically motivated
vendetta. As a result, organizations and individuals across Taiwan intensified their purchases of the
local fruit, making up for an entire year’s worth of exports to China in the space of just a few
days.
Hong Kong’s Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department said that if inspections of
imported containers reveal pests, it will take the necessary steps to bar imports and destroy the
offending containers' contents, ETtoday reported Thursday. Importers of fruit containers in Hong
Kong do not need to apply for import licenses or include evidence of plant inspections in the
country of origin, according to the report.
Taiwan previously exported about 10 percent of its pineapples, 95 percent of which went to China,
official statistics show.
