The Pilipino Banana Growers and Exporters Association (PBGEA) has expressed concern over China’s mandatory disinfection of food imports as a precautionary measure against Covid-19, as it could hike business costs and affect shipments to the Philippines’s second-largest export market.
PBGEA Executive Director Stephen A. Antig told the BusinessMirror that the shipments of some of the group’s members were disinfected by Chinese officials even if the guidelines are not yet “implementable.”
Citing the Department of Agriculture (DA), Antig noted that China has just submitted the proposed guidelines to the World Trade Organization for comments.
