Fruit fly eradication in the Fruit Fly Exclusion Zone: questions and answers

Agriculture Primefact
Primefact Number: 552    Edition: First edition    Released/reviewed: May 2007

Southern NSW is on the ecological edge of the fruit fly's natural range.

A trade zone - called the Fruit Fly Exclusion Zone (FFEZ) - has been established to maximise the access to export markets by eliminating fruit flies from that zone, and from nearby areas.

The main horticultural production areas of Griffith, Leeton and Hillston are inside the FFEZ.

This Primefact answers common questions about the FFEZ.
