A notice from the General Administration of Customs detonated the Network, and the customs of the Chinese mainland inspected the ocean rump powdery beetle from the soursse and lotus mist imported from the mainland from the Taiwan region for many times, and finally could not bear it, and a notice was directly announced to the customs of various places, and all the soursop and lotus fog from Taiwan were rejected by us in the future.
It is conceivable that this decision will set off another uproar in the Taiwan region, after all, there is a precedent for the Pineapple Incident in Taiwan. So what is the key role of this incident, the direct fuse of the ocean rump whitefly?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Taiwan's "pineapple incident"</h1>
As an island city, Taiwan is still relatively rich in fruit resources, and the annual export of fruits is also an important local income. The two sides of the Taiwan Strait have always been interconnected with each other, and have always imported more than 20 kinds of fruits to the mainland, of which the fruits with zero tariff are: papaya, mango, guava, lotus mist, betel nut, grapefruit, jujube, coconut, star fruit, loquat, plum, pineapple, peach, cherimoya, persimmon. There are also some taxed fruits such as: cantaloupe, orange, plum, dragon fruit, lemon, banana, orange. The output value of these fruits can reach 10 billion yuan, and the mainland is a very important market for fruit farmers in Taiwan Province.
However, in February 2021, because of the problem of Taiwanese pineapple, it caused huge attention on the Internet. On February 26, 2021, the General Administration of Customs of China issued a notice, which probably means that because pests have been found in pineapples imported from Taiwan many times, in order to do a good job in plant epidemic prevention and control, beware of pest invasion, but in the future, we will not want any pineapples in Taiwan.
After all, you always sell me fruit with bugs, how can I do business with you, buying your things is to take care of business, and there is no shortage of pineapples from you. However, this matter was deliberately guided by some people with ulterior motives, and it became a political issue, and while vigorously smearing it, it encouraged exports to domestic sales, so there was a 18-kilogram pineapple per person.
Many Taiwanese think that mainlanders can not do without Taiwan pineapple, and later found that the mainland is really not inferior to Taiwan's pineapple, Xuwen County can produce 700,000 tons of pineapple a year, if it is not to take care of the business of Taiwan compatriots, there is no need to import at all.
In this pineapple incident, the customs quarantine found quarantine pests such as the ocean buttocks mealybug, the new pineapple gray mealybug and the sarsaparilla black round shield borer.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the hazards of the oceanic epitaxial mealybug</h1>
History is always very similar, within a few months, the customs found the ocean buttocks powdery hopper in the fruits imported from Taiwan, so it blackened the soursop and lotus mist, and ninety-five percent of taiwan's output of these two fruits was exported to the mainland. According to the public information of the "Agricultural Committee" of the DPP authorities, in 2019, for example, the total amount of exports of Shakya, Lotus Mist and Pineapple to the mainland is nearly 4 billion, and if the mainland does not import these fruits in the future, it means that Taiwan will lose more than 4 billion output value every year.
So what kind of creature is this little bug that can make such a big wave?
This small bug is very omnivorous, and its diet contains more than 250 kinds of plants, including durian, pineapple, senna, boralmi, guava, longan, mango, watermelon, citrus, banana, corn, potato, etc. are its food, covering a variety of fruits imported from Taiwan.
Produced in China (Taiwan), India, Thailand, the Philippines, Bangladesh, Fiji, Malaysia, Australia, Mossaya, Papua, New Guinea, Tonga, tropical Africa and other regions, the Ocean rump mealybug is an invasive species for Chinese mainland.
Adults and nymphs of the ocean gluteal mealybug will suck the sap of the plant, which will cause the plant to die due to malnutrition, and the honeydew secreted by it will also induce soot disease, affecting the photosynthesis of the plant, and the plant that cannot photosynthesis can only wither and die in the whole plant. Previously, it only occurred in Taiwan and India, Thailand, the Philippines, Bangladesh, Fiji, Malaysia, Australia, and tropical Africa.
They reproduce quickly and iterate faster, requiring only 26 days in the summer to complete a generation change and 55 days in the winter. It can also be seen that their degree of harm is affected by temperature and humidity.
Based on this characteristic, we compared the climate of various parts of the mainland and found that the area south of the Yangtze River Basin belongs to the suitable area for the insect. This means that once they invade the continent, we will have a large area that will be affected by insect pests. The biggest feature of invasive alien species is that there are usually no natural enemies in the invading areas, which will cause greater damage and losses.
Customs has an important responsibility is to prevent the invasion of alien organisms, so all biological entry must be strictly inspected, in the inspection found that may cause significant losses to tropical and subtropical cash crops in mainland China harmful species, in order to protect our cash crops, the suspension of related goods into the entry is a very necessary and reasonable and legal behavior.
I very much agree with the comments of Mr. Hu Xijin, editor-in-chief of the Global Times: Taiwan's problematic fruits should be sold to Japan, Australia and the United States, and their "consistent values" can cure diseases and insects.
