Citrus Australia Quality Manager, Nathan Hancock, said the Korea, China and Thailand (KCT) packing house registration management has been brought online for the Department of Agriculture and Water to improve efficiency.
“Packing houses need to start the application process now, so that their growers can select them as there nominated packing house when the orchard applications open,” Nathan said.
The details of packhouses export approved by the Department in 2016 will be in the system and an email will have been forwarded. If you have not received this email, please email registrations@citrusaustralia.com.au
