What happened
Taiwan's Ministry of Agriculture announced that Taiwanese pineapples are expected to be exported to the US next year, following importation requirements set by the US Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service in March. The Ministry of Agriculture stated it has completed all necessary administrative procedures and is awaiting formal notification from Washington to begin exports.

Why it matters
The US expressed concern regarding pests such as the oriental fruit fly and mealybug caterpillar, but agreed that pineapples with over 50 percent Cayenne genetics do not host the insect. This market access is part of Taiwan's recent success in expanding overseas pineapple markets.
