Description:

A Cebu-based dried mango exporter had to secure a mosquito treatment certificate (MTC) as part of export documentation for its products to enter China, a new policy that incurred additional costs and some anxieties to the exporter after his goods were temporarily held at the port. “China added MTC after adopting new food-safety law last year in reaction to reported cases of infestation in that country,” the exporter said.
