oct 8, 2016 - CHINA ALLOWS PH BANANA, PINEAPPLE EXPORTS AHEAD OF DUTERTE VISIT
Description:
China lifted restrictions on banana and pineapple exports from the Philippines ahead of Duterte's visit later in the month. Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel Piñol stated that the Chinese government announced that it will lift the suspension imposed earlier on Filipino companies exporting bananas and pineapple to the country and indicated that it would also increase the volume of Philippine banana and pineapple exports. China would also be opening up its market to Philippine mangoes, coconut and dragon fruit as well as lapu-lapu (grouper), crabs, shrimps, prawns, tuna and bangus (milk fish). The quarantines on bananas dated back to 2012 after a naval standoff at Scarborough Shoal.
