Citrus imports: Trade

• Value of fruit for 2002/03: nearly $13 million

• 5 importing countries: USA (Ca/Az/Tx); Spain; Israel; NZ;

Egypt … more in the pipeline…

• Propagating material; ornamentals etc





Citrus imports: Passengers

• Over last 3 years, over 300 interceptions of citrus, mainly at

airports. Around 30 positive for citrus canker.

Citrus imports: Research

• 2003 detections of South African citrus thrips and wheat

streak mosaic virus at research institutions

• Citrus welcomes the review of biosecurity protocols at

Australian plant research institutes

Domestic quarantine

• restrictions of movement of fruit, leaves & nursery stock

e.g. Queensland nursery due to orange stem pitting

Fruit into the fruit fly exclusion zone in southern

Australia

Citrus Improvement Program

• provides healthy, true-to-type planting material

• internationally recognised scheme

• high industry investment

• commercial budwood/seed arm

Biosecurity

• industry, government and public awareness

• planning

• cost-sharing

QMAC 2003: SPS Measures – Balancing Trade Facilitation & Quarantine Risk



Production

• market access

• productivity

Trade

• Record export value for 2002/03: $201 million

• Over 70 export markets: Top 6 represent 90% of value

(Hong Kong, USA, Malaysia, Singapore, Japan & Indonesia)

• Australian budwood scheme sale to China

• Fresh juice market growing

Environment

• IPM

• native citrus species

• large backyard production

Challenges

• to industry: imports are part of exporting; there are riskier

modes of entry for exotic pests

• to government: SPS principles – robust, transparent and

scientifically-based risk assessments – should apply more

broadly

• to both: build and maintain a dynamic science base; build

partnerships to address health concerns
