SummaryThis non-regulated import risk analysis assesses a proposal from the Republic of Korea (hereafter referred to as Korea) for market access to Australia for table grapes. The draft report proposes that the importation of table grapes to Australia from all commercial production areas of Korea be permitted, subject to a range of quarantine conditions. Australia permits the importation of table grapes for human consumption from Chile, the United States of America (California) and New Zealand, provided they meet Australian quarantine requirements. An import risk assessment for table grapes from China is also nearing finalisation. This draft report identifies pests that require quarantine measures to manage risks to a very low level in order to achieve Australia’s appropriate level of protection (ALOP). The pests requiring measures are: arthropods – Kanzawa spider mite, harlequin ladybird, scarab beetles (two species), spotted winged drosophila, grapevine phylloxera, mealybugs (two species), leafroller moths (two species), the apple heliodinid, and western flower thrips; and pathogens – grape cluster black rot and grapevine leaf rust. The recommended quarantine measures take account of regional differences. Kanzawa spider mite has been identified as a quarantine pest for Western Australia, and western flower thrips for the Northern Territory. Western Australia’s state legislation currently prohibits the importation of table grapes from any source, including other parts of Australia, due to the absence of grape phylloxera, grapevine fanleaf virus and phomopsis cane and leaf spot in this state. The state legislation would need to be modified before the importation of table grapes into Western Australia can occur. This draft report recommends a combination of risk management measures and operational systems that will reduce the risk associated with the importation of table grapes from Korea into Australia to achieve Australia’s ALOP, specifically: area freedom, systems approach or fruit treatment for spotted winged drosophila a systems approach (vineyard control and surveillance, fruit bagging, and visual inspection and remedial action) for Kanzawa spider mite, mealybugs, leafroller moths, the apple heliodinid and western flower thrips a systems approach (vineyard and packing management, and visual inspection and remedial action) for harlequin ladybird and scarab beetles area freedom or sulphur pad treatment for grape phylloxera area freedom for grape cluster black rot area freedom or a systems approach for grapevine leaf rust a supporting operational system to maintain and verify the phytosanitary status of consignments. The Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS) will verify that the proposed phytosanitary measures have occurred. An AQIS officer will be present under a pre-clearance arrangement to inspect and verify pest freedom prior to export in the first year of trade. Pre-clearance will then only occur as required. This draft report contains details of the risk assessments for the quarantine pests and the proposed quarantine measures in order to allow interested parties to provide comments and submissions to Biosecurity Australia within the 60 day consultation period.
