For the next marketing year, Italian operators will be able to do the cold treatment before departure for the Chinese market.
This is an important result obtained by Italy for its kiwifruit exports to China, thanks mainly to the confidence gained in these 10 years of shipments that have never been discarded.
From the next campaign, it will be possible for Italian operators to carry out the cold treatment even before the product leaves, which will considerably reduce the export procedures that previously required cold treatment upon arrival of the goods. . CSO SERVIZI has published the list of establishments authorized to cold treat kiwifruit in stock before departure.
The possibility of cold treatment before departure can facilitate kiwifruit shipments both by plane and by train, exploiting the great potential of the opening of the 'Silk Road' railway line. .
Exports of Italian kiwifruit to China have exceeded 13,000 tons per year and the expected trend is continued growth.
