Chinese regulatory authorities have announced the suspension of all U.S. citrus shipments, to take effect April 18th.
The California Citrus Quality Council is contacting exporters to advise them that USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has received notification from China’s quarantine regulatory authorities of the suspension.
APHIS is translating a letter from China’s quarantine regulatory authorities and more information will be provided to the industry once the letter is translated, according to an email sent to citrus exporters from the council.
The ban will slow the export market for California citrus. This means more product will have to be moved domestically or to other markets outside of China.
