Biosecurity Advice 2022/P08: Announcement of the commencement of a review of biosecurity import requirements for fresh passionfruit for human consumption from Vietnam
30 August 2022
This Biosecurity Advice notifies stakeholders of the formal commencement of a review of biosecurity import requirements for fresh passionfruit for human consumption from Vietnam.
We expect to release the draft report for public consultation in 2023.
Passionfruit from Vietnam
We have published import conditions for fresh passionfruit from Vietnam on our Biosecurity Import Conditions system (BICON). Import permits can now be issued.
The decision to commence imports will be a commercial decision between an exporter in Vietnam and an importer in Australia. The importer must meet the import conditions as set out in BICON.
Future Drought Fund Communities Program
Communities which rely on agriculture need strong networks and local leaders. This is important in helping to build drought resilience.
That’s why the Future Drought Fund is investing in the Communities Program, with $36 million in funding over 4 years (2024-2028).
Pacific engagement
We’re working with the Pacific family to increase trade and improve biosecurity in the region.
