Mauritius is the latest to impose stricter regulations on Egyptian onions

Mauritius has joined a growing list of countries to tighten their regulations against Egyptian onions, according to the local press. The East African island nation’s new requirements include the absence of plant and soil remains and mold from Egyptian shipments, and refraining from using non-sterilized straw or peat moss packaging. Saudi Arabian and Kuwaiti authorities have also recently been more strict in their acceptance of the produce.
