China Bans the Import of Taiwan Sugar Apple and Java Apple,
Taiwan Plans to Increase Export to Hong Kong and Other Places and Will Complain to WTO


China banned the import of Taiwan pineapple in March 2021. Chinese General Administration of Customs announced the suspension of importing sugar apples and java apples from September 20. Taiwan’s Mainland Affairs Council counterattacked this evening, expressing dissatisfaction that China is unwilling to negotiate with Taiwan in accordance with the cross-strait agreement mechanism, damaging Taiwan’s agriculture and cross-strait relations. Taiwan Agricultural Committee indicated that they would send complaints to WTO and would increase the export to markets, such as Hong Kong.

The China Custom General Administration (GACC) Animal and Plant Quarantine indicated that quarantine pests, Planococcus minor, were found in Taiwan sugar apples and java apples several times this year. In order to prevent the risk of plant disease, GACC announced the suspension on importing Taiwan sugar apple and java apple from tomorrow.
