Seeing this ban, we should believe in scientific appraisal. Pineapples produced in Taiwan Province, China were not banned for no reason, but in 2020, combined with repeated customs tests, biological pollution such as scale insects was found. A spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council also said: Since 2020, the mainland customs has repeatedly intercepted quarantine pests from pineapples imported from Taiwan Province. Once these pests are introduced, they will pose a serious threat to agricultural production and ecological security in mainland China. In order to prevent the risk of plant epidemic from the source, the General Administration of Customs decided to suspend the importation of pineapples from Taiwan Province to the mainland from March 1 2002. This is a normal biological safety prevention measure, scientific and reasonable, in line with the relevant laws, regulations and standards of the mainland. ?
Because pineapple has a special shape, it will hide some harmful organisms in it. Moreover, pineapple has a pineapple head, and it is easy to hide pests in it. I believe our customs has made such a decision after full consideration. After all, it is also a critical period to fight against the epidemic. No matter when it happens, no matter how subtle it is, it deserves our attention and should be properly prevented and controlled.
According to preliminary estimates, about 50,000 tons of pineapples produced in Taiwan Province, China this year will not be sold.
