    According to Piñol, the department is still waiting for the results of Pest Risk Analysis (PRA) in apple fruit samples before signing the document for importation of apples.

    Moreover, Tanhaei expressed that Iran is also interested in exporting cherry, pomegranate, and pistachios to the Philippines.
