The importing country phytosanitary requirements (ICPR) documents issued by the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) have been reviewed to identify access conditions for New Zealand summerfruit (cherries, apricots, peaches, nectarines, plums and hybrids thereof). These are summarised in the table here.
Of the 61 ICPRs based on the ICPR interpretation, cherries have access to 57 markets, apricots have access to 54 markets, nectarines and plums have access to 53 markets, and peaches have access to 52 markets.
Where no commodity-specific measures were included in an ICPR the access conditions were based on the ICPR interpretation (eg summerfruit not listed in prohibitions and pest risk analysis not needed for new commodities).
ICPRs are available from the MPI website here and are not password protected.
Any questions or comments on the table can be directed to Peter Ensor at peter@solutionz.co.nz from Market Access Solutionz.
Please note that this information is provided as a guide to what markets may be available. Exporters and MAO packhouses should always check the relevant MPI ICPR and confirm import requirements. We suggest this is done with their importer well in advance of any exports taking place.
