China is ready to resume imports of bananas from the Philippines.
After a ban in March, imports of bananas from the Philippines are now allowed.
After meeting with its Chinese counterparts, a minister said that China is ready to continue its imports. China banned bananas from the Philippines in March, citing parasites. This prohibition was accompanied by more stringent sanitary requirements
for a possible resumption of imports.
The Philippines is one of the world's major exporters of bananas. Its main markets are Japan, China, South Korea, New Zealand. China is the second largest export market with shipments accounting for 19% of total exports in the first two months of the year.
