The Indonesian Quarantine Agency (Barantin) and the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) of New Zealand have agreed to strengthen the implementation of pre-border quarantine measures for onions imported from New Zealand into Indonesia. Pre-border measures refer to steps taken by a country domestically to ensure the safety of its commodities before export. In a statement issued in Jakarta on Tuesday, Bambang, Deputy for Crop Quarantine at Barantin, noted that the agreement was formalized with the signing of a protocol to update an existing implementing arrangement concerning the entry of raw onions into Indonesia. He explained that strengthening pre-border quarantine measures is crucial to protecting Indonesia from crops that may be infested with harmful organisms.Source : https://en.antaranews.com/news/351805/indonesia-new-zealand-agree-on-higher-safety-in-onion-trading?utm_source=antaranews&utm_medium=desktop&utm_campaign=top_news (ICE GIACARTA)
