Indonesia to Remove Barriers to US Apple Exports, USTR Says

Indonesia has agreed to “restore an accelerated track” for the U.S. to export apples to the country, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative said in a Nov. 1 emailed press release. Indonesia agreed to allow the exports after “extensive engagement” by both USTR and USDA, the agency said, adding that the Indonesian measure was an “unjustified” trade barrier. USTR said it will “monitor implementation of this fast-track channel closely and make sure that U.S. producers, growers, and exporters can continue to export U.S. products.”
