Friday 07 December 2007
Preliminary to the drafting of an export protocol of Italian kiwifruits to China, at mid-November a delegation of Chinese phytosanitary inspectors was invited in Italy by the Italian ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. After being received in Rome, inspectors went to Emilia Romagna region to visit the production units.
The Producer Organisation (PO) Apo Conerpo was involved in the activities of technical support to the delegation, for visiting some kiwifruit production units.
The delegation, headed by He Tian Jang (director of the Plant Inspection & Quarantine agency in the province of Sichuan, the Chinese phyto-sanitary Service) visited the processing, storage and packaging facilities of the co-operative Agrintesa of Castelbolognese. In the warehouse, specifically devoted to processing of products for overseas export, the warehouse manager Andrea Gottarelli described the various stages kiwifruits follow, from supply of the product into the co-operative to the shipment in containers.
Thanks to the support of the technical and quality department of Agrintesa, the inspectors have come into direct contact with the Italian production; in particular, attention was drawn to the lack of fitofagus on this crop, confirmed by the campaign book, which also reports the list of phytosanitary treatments made.
