Melon
fruit from Japan: biosecurity import requirements draft report
|
|
The
Australian Government Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (the
department) has finalised a risk analysis in response to the market access
request for fresh melon (Cucumis melo)
fruit, except oriental melon (C. melo var.
makuwa) and oriental pickling
melon (C. melo var. utilissimus) from Japan into Australia
for human consumption. The final report recommends a combination of risk
management measures and a system of operational procedures that will reduce
the risk associated with the importation of fresh melon fruit, except
oriental melon and oriental pickling melon, from Japan to achieve Australia's
appropriate level of protection.
The final
report recommends that the importation of fresh melon fruit, except oriental
melon and oriental pickling melon, from Japan into Australia be permitted,
subject to the application of the phytosanitary measures, as outlined in the
final report, for a fruit fly and thrips species of biosecurity concern to
Australia.
The draft
report for this risk analysis was published on the department's website on 17
October 2024 for a 60 day stakeholder consultation period (G/SPS/N/AUS/607).
