South Korea has lifted quarantine measures imposed on fresh fruit imports from the Chilean province of Santiago, reports FreshPlaza.
The South Korean government officially announced the move on 5 August once the region had been deemed fruit-fly free, the publication said.
The quarantine measures were adopted two years ago following a fruit-fly outbreak in the province.
Efforts to reclaim Santiago's fruit-fly-free status were spearheaded by a public-private partnership involving the Chilean government and key Chilean export bodies.
Thanks to a public-private partnership involving Chile’s department of agriculture and key Chilean export organisations, the Province of Santiago has been declared fruit-fly-free for two consecutive seasons, the report said.
