Philippines: Dept. of ag certifies 312 banana packing plants for China export
Ramon Milloria, head of the PQS regional office in Davao, said this means that bananas processed in these packing plants are now fit to be exported to China.
The certification came amid efforts by banana exporters to resume exports to China in the wake of Beijing’s imposition of stricter phytosanitary requirements.
Two hundred and sixty-eight of the packing plants certified as compliant with Chinese requirements are operated by the Filipino Banana Growers and Exporters (PBGEA), while 44 belong to the Mindanao Banana Farmers and Exporters Association (MBFEA).
