Earlier, Freshplaza reported how South Korea would delete tariffs on bananas and pineapples from the Philippines.
Now, the Korean government has also approved imports of Philippine Hass avocado, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) announced Tuesday. The DFA said the country has completed the requirements for the ruling process for the entry of the tropical fruit after Official Notification 2023-33 of the South Korean Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs on September 8.
The fresh Hass avocado exports from the Philippines are expected to be sourced from the orchards and packing houses of Dole Philippines in Davao, Bukidnon and South Cotabato. The approval for its import to Korea follows a series of inspections last February.
