The country’s Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council said Chinese customs authority has decided to suspend the import of pineapples from Taiwan from March 1 as a “normal biosafety precautionary measure," Chinese daily Global Times reported.
China claims Taiwan is a breakaway province, while Taipei insists on its independence since 1949.
In Asia, the largest pineapple markets are Thailand, China and the Philippines with a combined 59% share of the total market.
India, Indonesia, Vietnam and Taiwan together accounted for a further 34%.
The COVID-19 pandemic had affected Taiwan’s pineapple market in China last year.
