The government of Vietnam has asked USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) to authorize the importation of pummelo fruit for consumption into the United States. APHIS has drafted a pest risk assessment that describes potential pests associated with the commodity. APHIS shares the draft pest risk assessments to determine whether stakeholders have information that might lead us to revise the assessment before we identify pest risk mitigations and proceed with the commodity import approval process.The draft pest risk assessment for pummelo fruit for consumption from Vietnam will be available for review and comment until May 6, 2020. To view the assessment or submit comments, go to https://www.aphis.usda.gov/plant-health/risk-assessment-consultation.
