Emergency measures to mitigate the risk of introducing Bactrocera dorsalis species complex. |
| Summary |
MAFF has designated the Bactrocera dorsalis species complex as an important quarantine pest and prohibited the import of host plants from specific countries where it is present. To prevent the introduction of this pest into Japan, MAFF has decided to ban the import of the fresh fruit of Fijian longan (Pometia pinnata (syn. Allophylus cobbe)), which is a host plant of the Bactrocera dorsalis species complex originating from the country of Item 4. This measure is being taken as an emergency action before the enforcement of the revision of the Ordinance for Enforcement of the Plant Protection Act based on detections of the Bactrocera dorsalis species complex during import inspections.
