In a move that’s sweet news for fruit lovers and cross-strait relations, the Chinese mainland has officially resumed imports of Taiwan’s iconic Wendan pomelos! 🌟 The decision, announced by the General Administration of Customs, takes effect Monday, marking a fresh chapter in agricultural trade between the two sides.
Chen Binhua, spokesperson for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, emphasized that pomelos must come from registered orchards and packaging plants to ensure quality and safety. 🏭✅ This step aims to boost economic opportunities for farmers while delivering the beloved citrus fruit to mainland consumers.
Wendan pomelos, known for their juicy texture and mild sweetness, hold cultural significance in many Asian festivals. 🎑 The resumption follows years of collaboration, underscoring the mainland’s commitment to fostering regional economic ties. Analysts say this could ‘peel back’ new opportunities for cross-strait cooperation in agriculture and beyond. 😉
As autumn approaches—peak season for pomelos—the move is a timely reminder of how shared traditions and trade can bridge communities. 🍂✨
