Fresh Egyptian Pomegranates are now permitted officially gain access to the Chinese market
Egyptian pomegranates

Egyptian pomegranates joined the growing list of fresh fruits permitted to be imported into China from August 2022.

The announcement from the General Administration of Customs of China laid out the relevant phytosanitary and quality requirements that growers, packers, and exporters in Egypt must follow for their pomegranates to qualify for import into China.

Among these is a cold treatment requirement. Fruit must be stored with a core temperature of 1.67 degrees Celsius or below for more than 16 days or 2.22 degrees Celsius or below for more than 18 days.

The announcement also lists eight pests of concern, including the Mediterranean fruit fly, the common guava blue (Deudorix isocrates) and the locust bean moth (Ectomyelois ceratoniae). Aside from cold treatment, producers must also follow a series of sorting and cleaning steps that are relatively boilerplate for exported fruit. Orchards, packing facilities, and cold storage and cold treatment facilities must furthermore be registered with the Central Administration of Plant Quarantine under Egypt’s Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation, as well as being approved by the GACC. The Central Administration of Plant Quarantine is required to conduct sampling inspections of pomegranates bound for China to check for the presence of pests of concern.

Egyptian pomegranate exports reached 247,000 metric tons last season and are expected to remain at a similar level this season. The harvest takes place during August to October and consists mainly of three varieties: the early-ripening Baladi and Early 116 varieties and the middle- to late-season Wonderful variety. Demand for Egyptian pomegranates in overseas markets has reportedly increased in recent years as COVID-19 spurred many consumers around the world to try to live healthier lifestyles and eat a more nutritious diet.

Since July, China has also opened its market up to Zimbabwean citrus, Ecuadorian dragon fruit and Vietnamese durians. Market access is also anticipated to be granted soon for Cambodian longans.

Happy Eidul-Adha

Fresh Zone wishing a Happy Eidul-Adha to All Muslim nations, May Allah fulfill all your prayers and bless you with his kindness.

عيد اضحي سعيد علي كل الامه الاسلاميه وادعو الله ان يملأ دعواتكم وصلواتكم بالخير واليمن والبركات

Happy Eidul-Adha

Eid al-Adha is the second and biggest of the two main holidays celebrated in Islam (the other being Eid al-Fitr). It honors the willingness of Ibrahim (peace upon him) to sacrifice his son Ismail (peace upon him) as an act of obedience to Allah’s command. Before Ibrahim could sacrifice his son, however, Allah provided him with a lamb which he was supposed to kill in his son’s place because of his willingness to sacrifice his own son in the name of God. In commemoration of this intervention, animals are ritually slaughtered. One third of their meat is consumed by the family which offers the animal, while the rest of the meat is distributed to the poor and the needy. Sweets and gifts are given, and extended family members are typically visited and welcomed.The day is also sometimes called the Greater Eid.

عيد الأضحى هو أحد العيدين عند المسلمين (والعيد الآخر هو عيد الفطر)، يوافق يوم 10 ذو الحجة بعد انتهاء وقفة يوم عرفة، الموقف الذي يقف فيه الحجاج المسلمون لتأدية أهم مناسك الحج، وينتهي يوم 13 ذو الحجة. يعدّ هذا العيد أيضاً ذكرى لقصة إبراهيم عليه السلام عندما رأى رؤيا أمره فيها الله بالتضحية بابنه إسماعيل عليه السلام، وبعد تصديقه وابنه للرؤيا، أمره الله بعدها بذبح أضحية بدلا عن ابنه، لذلك يقوم المسلمون بالتقرب إلى الله في هذا اليوم بالتضحية بأحد الأنعام (خروف، أو بقرة، أو جمل) وتوزيع لحم الأضحية على الأقارب والفقراء وأهل بيتهم، ومن هنا جاءت تسمية عيد الأضحى.
