    In early November, during Tanzanian President Hassan during his state visit to China, China and Tanzania signed a protocol
    on phytosanitary requirements for the export of Tanzanian fresh avocados to China.
    On November 15, the General Administration of Customs issued an announcement that Tanzanian fresh avocados that meet the relevant requirements will be allowed to import
    from now on.
     
    According to the announcement, only the Hass variety of avocados
    from Tanzania's avocado producing areas is currently allowed to be imported.

    of spiral whitefly, Mediterranean fruit fly, African mango fruit fly, Natal fruit fly, African turtle wax bug, fig wax bug, mosquito blind bug, elm white shield bug, avocado thrips, spiny shield bug, sea grey winged night moth, apple heteromorphous curly moth, seven-pointed star wax bug and avocado sunspot virus.

    ), branches, leaves, soil, etc.

    Avocado is Tanzania's first fresh fruit
    to gain market access from China.
    Tanzania is the third largest producer of avocados in Africa, after South Africa and Kenya
    .
    Tanzania currently produces an average of 47,000 tonnes of exportable avocados per year, with an actual export volume of about 12,000 tonnes, which is expected to increase to 20,000 tonnes by 2026
    .
     
    Tanzania is very optimistic about China's avocado market and has been preparing
    for avocado access to China since 2018.
    Avocados have become the fastest growing category in Tanzania's horticultural industry and are expected to double production in the next three years
