concern regarding quality or safety of the products produced simply they despatched anything produced no matter what was wrong with them. I left the company after a confirmed asbestos contaminated production machine was installed to produce facial tissues.
So how can we trust a producer in China to care when an Australian Chinese company does not

I certainly won't be buying chinese fruit. Any retail outlet who plans on selling chinese apples should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves. Furthermore what are the growing conditions like in China? Given you can't drink the tap water and some areas are heavily polluted, what sort of harmful chemicals might be present in apples from China?

If individuals can't bring overseas produce through quarantine because of the very real risks, how do we justify commercial imports - even the best protocols can break down. We have no controls over the production processes. Australian consumers should expect better of our regulators.

I didn't realise how good the apples tasted fresh until I moved to Manji. Other industry examples show that biosecurity is easily managed through quarantine and usually only appeases any politcal pressure. Heavy spray regimes overcome emotion something consumers dont entertain when price driven. Can only differentiate product, strive for quality, promote local, develop new export markets, try to compete on price and persevere. Good luck.
