                    [Summary] => The country lost close to $85 million in exports last month and is likely to lose more with Japan’s continued ban on the entry of solo papaya and mango from Davao.


Agricultural Attaché to Japan Joseph Sison said that since the Japan Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) imposed the ban last Oct. 22, Davao mango and solo papaya exporters have been unable to resume shipments of these products to the multi-million-dollar Japanese market. Exports of these products prior to the ban averaged about 100 metric tons (MT) a month.

Agricultural Attaché to Japan Joseph Sison said the Japan Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) imposed the ban starting Oct. 22 after it discovered that portions of a shipment of 35,150 kilos of solo papayas by Dole Tropifresh Philippines were infested with fruit flies. The shipment was seized at the Kawasaki Port.
