Find your country's enquiry point on WTO ePing (opens in a new tab)The presence of Citrus Greening Disease (Candidatus Liberibacter spp.), which can cause severe damage in citrus production areas and reduce yields by up to 40%, and its vector, the Asian Citrus Psyllid (Diaphorina citri), has not been reported in our country. These pests are listed under the Plant Quarantine Regulation and on the EPPO A1 quarantine list. Given Türkiye’s significant role in global citrus production, it is of utmost importance to prevent the introduction, establishment, and spread of Candidatus Liberibacter spp. and Diaphorina citri into the country’s agricultural areas in order to protect national territory. Therefore, the import of Murraya paniculata, which is among the main hosts of Diaphorina citri, into Türkiye is prohibited from 15 May 2026 onwards (except for shipments accompanied by Phytosanitary Certificates issued before 15 May 2026) from all countries.
