Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture Regulation 13/2016 updates import procedures for fresh foods of plant origin (FFPO). U.S. exporters are now required to provide “prior notice” of their cargo prior to the shipping vessel’s departure of the origin country. Indonesian quarantine has also stated that dry peas, cowpeas, mung beans, and broad beans are not covered under the U.S. food safety country recognition agreement for FFPO. Post is contesting this and is working with the Indonesian Agricultural Quarantine Agency (IAQA) to include these products in the U.S. FFPO.
