Final report for the non-regulated analysis of existing policy for table grapes from India

The Australian Government Department of Agriculture and Water Resources has completed this risk analysis in response to the market access request for table grapes from India into Australia. The final report recommends a combination of risk management measures and a system of operational procedures that will reduce the risk associated with the importation of table grapes from India to achieve Australias appropriate level of protection.

The final report recommends that the importation of table grapes into Australia from India meets Australias biosecurity requirements subject to a range of risk management measures, including measures for fruit flies (two species), Kanzawa spider mite, leaf rolling moth, mealybugs (four species), thrips (two species), spotted wing drosophila, grapevine phylloxera, black rot, brown rot and grapevine leaf rust.

The draft report for this risk analysis was published on the Australian Government Department of Agriculture and Water Resources website on 22 July 2015 for a 30 day stakeholder consultation period and was published as an SPS notification with reference number G/SPS/N/AUS/366 on 27 July 2015.
