Avocados Australia and China Entry-Exit Examination and Isolate Affiliation have marked a MOU in Beijing to pursue working with the facilitation market to China for Queensland avocados.
Under the MOU, CIQA has consented to help with sharing business sector knowledge, assisting with creating structures for important innovative work that feeds into conquering market access boundaries and working with data dividing among China’s administrative market access bodies and Avocados Australia.
Queensland premier Annastacia Palaszczuk asserted Queensland delivers probably the best avocados in Australia, which are especially popular abroad.
“This MOU will enable greater collaboration between CIQA and Avocados Australia, while bolstering industry development through R&D, ultimately growing Queensland’s avocado industry and increasing employment,” Palaszczuk said.
Queensland is the biggest avocado-producing state in Australia.
Avocados Australia is the peak business body addressing Australian avocado ranchers, exporters, advertisers and wholesalers. Furthermore, CIQA is a not-for-benefit association zeroed in on the import and product review and quarantine area.
Avocado Australia CEO, John Tyas said, “Building a strong and enduring technical partnership with CIQA is already helping to assist Australian researchers, particularly the research partners within the new $130 million Fresh and Secure Trade Alliance (FASTA) project, develop relevant data packages to ensure we achieve success when the market access negotiation begins.”
“I’m very pleased to witness the signing of this MOU which supports the opportunity for Australian avocados to gain market access to China,” Palaszczuk added.
