Chinese plant health authorities have authorised new Colombian Hass avocado farms and packhouses to export to China in 2021.
A total of eight areas in the departments of Antioquia, Valle del Cauca, Risaralda, and Quindio have been authorised this year, according to a report in
Agronegocios.
Deyanira Barrero Leon, general manager of the Colombian Agricultural Institute (ICA), highlighted the strength of the Colombian phytosanitary monitoring and control systems.
“The Chinese market is a priority for us because of the great future possibilities it presents for Colombian exports. That's why we work as a team from farm to farm with small, medium, and large producers, to provide them with more opportunities to market their products,” she said.
