In June, the Standing Committee on Plant, Animal, Food, and Feed (SCOPAFF) issued new regulations that require cold treatment of oranges destined for the region to protect them from False Coddling Moths (FCMs).

South African Citrus Growers Association special envoy for EU and market access Deon Joubert has warned of the potentially devastating impact on the industry.

According to Joubert, these regulations will result in millions of cartons of the citrus currently heading to the EU being destroyed if enforced this month.
In the regulations, extensive changes have been made to the current phytosanitary requirements for citrus from South Africa.

Joubert spoke to Radio Islam International and explained the requirements of the amended laws saying that citrus imports will be required to undergo specified mandatory cold treatment procedures and pre-cooling steps for a specific period before importation, or before consignments can be shipped.
