What was it all about? 

This project began in 2016, after the signing of the protocol to export Australian nectarines to China. Its aims included…

• Ensuring the export readiness of the Australian summerfruit industry through the training of growers, packers and exporters and facilitating the registration and audit of export treatment facilities, orchards and packhouses
  
  
• Developing and implementing a monitoring and management program for a range of pests and diseases of quarantine concern to China.

The project also facilitated industry engagement to finalise market access to China for peaches, apricots and plums, and delivered the market-entry strategy for nectarines into China.
