Palace respects China’s rejection of joint inspection on banana exports

MALACAÑANG said on Monday it respects the decision of China’s quarantine agency to deny the Philippines’ quarantine experts to jointly examine bananas imported from the country. Deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte said the Philippine government understands the stand of China as it is part of their law.”We spoke to (Agriculture) Secretary (Proceso) Alcala this morning and we verified the report that was reported in one of the major news agencies. And, as far as the government is concerned, that is the prerogative of the Chinese government to disallow the joint inspection,” Valte said.

An international news agency reported on Saturday that the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) rejected the Philippines’ offer to send quarantine experts to jointly examine the fruits exported to China, citing violation of international conventions and Chinese laws. AQSIQ also reportedly denied sending their own delegates to the Philippines to conduct inspections in plantations and ports. In light of China’s disagreement in joint inspections, Malacañang assured that the concerns and needs of the banana exporters, particularly the small players, will be addressed.”As to the small players, the President has already given the instructions to Department of Agriculture (DA) to assist the small players in making sure that they are compliant with international standards as to our exports… To make sure that their packaging warehouses and facilities will be up to par,” she said. Valte said the DA and the Bureau of Plant Industry will be inspecting small banana players to check what assistance the government could extend to them. She said this is not part of assistance plan President Benigno Aquino III earlier ordered for his economic managers to draft. Valte clarified that the government has not discussed loans as form of assistance to banana exporters. Presidential spokesperson Edwin Lacierda earlier said assistance in form of cash or fertilizer is being eyed by the administration. As China allowed more Philippine bananas to enter its market, Valte said the Palace expects the situation to continue to normalize. There have been 190 containers of bananas that were allowed to enter into Chinese market since China imposed stricter quarantine measures on Philippine bananas.
