: Australia decided to lift its anti-dumping measure on Philippine canned pineapples, 15 years after it was first imposed.

This means that, under the ASEAN-Australia-New Zealand Free Trade Agreement (AANZFTA), the Philippines can already export canned pineapples duty-free to Australia once the measure expires on 17 October 2021 for consumer canned pineapples, and on 13 November 2021 for Food Service Industrial (FSI) canned pineapples.

Agriculture Secretary William Dar welcomed the favorable development, noting that the lifting of the anti-dumping measure will further strengthen trading relationship with Australia.

“Our trading relationship with Australia has been a healthy one, except for this kind of impediment that had blocked the entry of Philippine agriculture exports to that country,” Secretary Dar said.

“This is a most propitious opportunity for the Philippine pineapple sector, given its dramatic growth performance this past couple of years,” the DA chief added.
