(File photo: Wichan Charoenkiatpakul)China allowed 56 longan packaging companies to resume exporting Thai longan to China on Aug 17, reversing a ban imposed on Aug 13, according to the Commerce Ministry. They were among 75 longan sorting and packaging companies earlier banned. The latest ban was imposed last Friday after Thai longan were found to be contaminated with mealybugs. The remaining companies can also resume their longan exports to China in the future if they can prove to have implemented effective measures to screen out pests in their exports, Ms Mallika said.
