China: Market Access Diversification Expands as Commodity and Facility Registration Continues

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   CH2022-0137

The General Administration of Customs of the People’s Republic of China (GACC) Department of Animal and Plant Quarantine (APQ) periodically publishes updated information on which countries or regions have market access to the PRC for a range of agricultural commodities under their authority. This report provides links and reference materials for a select group of commodities like grains, oilseeds, pulses, tubers, coffee, cacao, fruit, vegetables, and various related plant or plant products and the approved exporting countries or regions with market access. During 2022, the PRC continued to diversify the number of agricultural suppliers by affording exporting countries or regions access for new products and/or adding exporting countries or regions to the list of commodities already approved for import into China.
