The Chinese General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine has already strengthened its inspection of relevant certificates based on the requirements of the "Announcement on the quarantine inspection requirements for banana import from Laos".
Khamkeung Phiewlavanh, vice-head of the Department of Labor and Commerce in Bokeo Province, Laos, stated that the department has not yet made a projection of banana export in 2019, but expects that it will show a downward trend. "The government of Laos does not currently allow investors or farmers to expand banana plantation because of environmental reasons. The department encourages banana farmers to shift production to other product varieties."
