Introduction and Importation of Citrus Fruits with Leaves

The Plant Protection Directorate (PPD), within the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Food and Animal Rights, would like to issue a reminder to all traders and importers of fruit that it is prohibited to introduce into Malta citrus fruit with leaves and peduncles. This is due to Malta being a Protected Zone for Citrus Tristeza Virus (CTV), a disease which can be present on the leaves and transmitted to local citrus trees.

Any trader or importer found trading/importing citrus fruit with leaves, would be in breach of Point 31, Part B, Schedule IV and Regulation 13, paragraph (c) of Subsidiary Legislation 433.03 of the Laws of Malta entitled Plant Quarantine (Harmful Organisms) Regulations, and is subject to a fine. Only locally produced citrus fruit can be sold with leaves and peduncles.

Whilst the Directorate is conducting inspections at points of entry and registered importing and trading companies to enforce this legislation, the public is encouraged to report any citrus with leaves which is not of local origin to the PPD. This can be done by email to (plantquarantine@gov.mt) or by telephone number 2292 6533 or 7900 8101.
