But even as the Philippine government will already have its hands full with the tedious process of complying with these requirements, its difficult situation is being aggravated by the outright "uncooperative" stance of DTP.

Agricultural Attaché to Japan Joseph Sison said that since the Japan Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) imposed the ban last Oct. 22, Davao mango and solo papaya exporters have been unable to resume shipments of these products to the multi-million-dollar Japanese market. Exports of these products prior to the ban averaged about 100 metric tons (MT) a month.

Agricultural Attaché to Japan Joseph Sison said the Japan Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) imposed the ban starting Oct. 22 after it discovered that portions of a shipment of 35,150 kilos of solo papayas by Dole Tropifresh Philippines were infested with fruit flies. The shipment was seized at the Kawasaki Port.
