Final report for the non -regulated analysis of existing policy for fresh strawberry fruit from the 
Republic of Korea  
The Australian Government Department of Agriculture and Water Resources has completed this 
risk analysis in response to the market access request for fresh strawberry fruit from the Republic 
of Korea into Australia. The final re port recommends a combination of risk management measures 
and a system of operational procedures that will reduce the risk associated with the importation of 
fresh strawberry fruit from the Republic of Korea, to achieve the appropriate level of protection for 
Australia.  
This final report recommends that the importation of commercially greenhouse grown strawberries 
from the Republic of Korea be permitted, subject to a range of biosecurity conditions, including 
measures for spotted wing drosophila, Kanzawa sp ider mite, thrips (two species) and angular leaf 
spot. 
The draft report for this risk analysis was published on the Australian Government Department of 
Agriculture and Water Resources website on 25 August 2016 for a 60 day stakeholder consultation 
period a nd was published as an SPS notification with reference number G/SPS/N/AUS/395.  
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 -
