Final report for the non -regulated analysis of existing policy for table grapes from Sono ra, Mexico  
The Australian Government Department of Agriculture and Water Resources has completed this 
risk analysis in response to the market access request for table grapes from Sonora, Mexico, into 
Australia. The final report recommends a combination of  risk management measures and a system 
of operational procedures that will reduce the risk associated with the importation of table grapes 
from Sonora, Mexico, to achieve the appropriate level of protection for Australia.  
The final report recommends that t he importation of table grapes into Australia from Sonora, 
Mexico, meets Australia's biosecurity requirements subject to a range of risk management 
measures, including measures for fruit flies (two species), spotted wing drosophila, ladybird, 
sharpshooters  (three species), Kanzawa spider mite, leaf rolling moth, mealybugs (five species), 
thrips (three species), grapevine phylloxera and black rot. In addition, the final report identifies 
two sanitary pests requiring risk management measures (black widow spid er and yellow sac 
spider).  
The draft report for this risk analysis was published on the Australian Government Department of 
Agriculture and Water Resources website on 13 January 2016 for a 30 day stakeholder 
consultation period and was published as an SPS notification with reference number 
G/SPS/N/AUS/379.  
The completed final report is available in English on the Australian Government Department of 
Agriculture and Water Resources website at http://www.agriculture.gov.au/biosecurity/risk -
