[Title] => RP mango exporters must comply with Japan’s new rules on chemical residues
[Summary] => Exporters of fresh mangoes should ensure compliance with Japan’s standard maximum residue limit (MRL) for the chemical cypermethrine.

[Title] => Japan issues conditions for lifting of ban on RP papayas, mangoes
[Summary] => The Japanese government has issued new conditions for it to lift the ban on the entry of solo papaya and mango exports from Davao after two shipments of Dole Tropifresh Philippines (DTP) last month were found to be infested with fruit flies.
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.
