After 10 years, Shaanxi apples return to the Australian market

On May 9th, 5.7 tons of fresh apples produced in Luochuan entered the Australian market. After passing the Australian customs quarantine, these apples will soon be listed on local supermarkets. This is Shaanxi Apple's return to the Australian market after a 10-year hiatus.

At the 2025 Hong Kong Asia International Fruit and Vegetable Exhibition, Luochuan apples were favored by Australian merchants. Our apples are fresh, sweet, thin skinned, and juicy. Previously, they were mainly sold to Southeast Asia, "said Xiao Xiaojie, the general manager of Luochuan Qingyi Manor Biotechnology Co., Ltd., the producer of this batch of apples." We also considered entering the Australian market, but after learning that Australia has very strict control over imported products, we were at a loss

Fortunately, Yan'an Customs came to our door in the first place and gave us great encouragement and support. Customs officers guided us throughout the process to improve orchard registration information, standardize production processes, and control fruit quality. They helped us solve problems one by one and successfully obtained the 'pass' for exporting to Australia, "Xiao Xiaojie said.

The export of fresh apples is about grabbing the word 'fresh', "said Ye Hongbin, Deputy Director of Yan'an Customs. In order to speed up the clearance of apples, Yan'an Customs has carried out the reform of" batch inspection ", established a" remote local inspection "work area, and added convenient measures such as" green channels "," cloud signing and issuance of certificates ", and" customs postal services "to ensure that fresh apples have" zero delay "from inspection to release, greatly reducing the clearance costs of enterprises.

This efficient service originates from Yan'an Customs' implementation of 13 measures in the three plans of "doubling, breaking through zero, and boosting" for apple exports according to local conditions, fully supporting apple production and deep processing enterprises to go abroad. At present, there are 18 apple and deep processed product export enterprises in Luochuan County, and 61300 acres of export registered orchards have been built.

Yan'an Customs will continuously improve the intelligent supervision and service system of the entire chain from fields to ports, making Yan'an apples more famous and helping more high-quality agricultural products go abroad and spread globally, "said Martin, the director of Yan'an Customs.
