Strict quarantine measures have finally been agreed upon to allow citrus fruit export from Australia, with the first exports due to leave later this month, reports ABC Online Monday. Growers had hoped China would help solve some of Australia's oversupply problems, but Executive Director of Australian Citrus Growers, Judith Damiani, says it is not yet known how much fruit will be exported this year. "The quarantine requirements make it fairly difficult to put a lot of volume of fruit into that China market," she said. "So we'll have to start slowly and do some trial shipments initially. After two years we will have to look at amending the protocol and making it easier to ship there." Richie Roberts from Renmark says his fruit company will start packing fruit for China early next week just to test the market.
