The Australian Government Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (the department) has finalized a risk analysis in response to the market access request for fresh passionfruit (Passiflora edulis) from Viet Nam into Australia for human consumption.
The final report recommends a combination of risk management measures and a system of operational procedures that will reduce the risk associated with the importation of fresh passionfruit from Viet Nam to achieve Australia's appropriate level of protection.
The final report recommends that the importation of fresh passionfruit from Viet Nam into Australia be permitted, subject to the application of the phytosanitary measures, as outlined in the final report for species of false spider mite, fruit flies, mealybug, scale insects, spider mite and thrips of biosecurity concern to Australia.
The draft report for this risk analysis was published on the department's website on 13 July 2023 for a 60-day stakeholder consultation period and notified in G/SPS/N/AUS/570.
The completed final report is available in English on the Australian Government Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry website at: www.agriculture.gov.au/biosecurity-trade/policy/risk-analysis/plant/passionfruit-from-vietnam
