The way is open for pears to be sorted and packaged for export to Canada at the same time as pears for export to other countries. It is expected that the labor and costs of farmers who had previously invested in separate work will be reduced. It has been found that the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs has reached an agreement with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and is revising the ‘Export Quarantine Guidelines for Korean Apples, Pears, and Mushrooms with Cultivation Media Attached to Canada’ based on these contents. Until now, Canada has regulated export farms from sorting and packaging pears for domestic consumption and export to other countries at the same time, citing the prevention of disease and pest infection. The revised notice includes provisions to ease requirements so that farmers can work on pears to be sold to Canada and other countries at the same time on the same sorting line. This is expected to save farmers additional labor and costs and prevent deterioration in the quality of agricultural products. Regulations on bags used when growing apples and pears for export to Canada will also be improved. Currently, the bags must be labeled ‘For Export to Canada,’ but this has been decided to be removed. The requirement that the name of the grower must be written on the packaging box will be revised to allow the name of the grower or the number of the grower to be written. In addition, the list of pests and diseases of concern for apple and pear fresh fruits from Canada will be changed. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has been conducting a re-evaluation and consultation of pests of concern with our quarantine authorities since April 2021, and agreed to change the list in April of last year. In the case of apples, the two currently designated species, red star disease and blunt spider mites, will be deleted, and four species, including blossom rot, aemo leafroller, peach bud borer, and apple spur leafroller, will be added. For pears, five species, including black star disease (black spot disease), aemo leafroller, soybean mealybug, peach bud borer, and apple spur leafroller, have been newly designated.
