Recently, 806.4 kilograms of winter dates passed the inspection and quarantine of the Yuncheng Customs under the Taiyuan Customs and were exported to Australia by sea, marking the first entry of Shanxi fresh dates into the Australian market. This follows the entry of apples, pears, and nectarines into the Australian market from Shanxi. The exported dates are from Linyi, produced by Shanxi Jufenglong Agriculture Co., Ltd. Linyi in Shanxi has a unique loess plateau climate and significant day-night temperature differences, resulting in winter dates that weigh over 20 grams each, with a sweetness of around 28°, thin skin, crisp flesh, and rich, sweet, and juicy taste. On August 1, 2023, the General Administration of Customs officially issued a notice regarding the phytosanitary requirements for the export of fresh dates from China to Australia. In early September, the first batch of fresh dates from Cangzhou was shipped to Australia, initiating the export of Chinese fresh dates to Australia. The Linyi dates exported this time are located at 35 degrees north latitude, which is recognized and approved by Australia as a non-epidemic area for the oriental fruit fly, the false codling moth, and the melon fly north of 33 degrees north latitude, and thus do not require cold treatment before export/during transportation.
