BACKGROUND

	A tropical fruit is a fruit produced by a tree, shrub or vine native to the tropics.  The tropics are generally defined as the region of the globe between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn.  The environment of the tropics is warm to hot and humid year round, creating a unique habitat that results in trees, shrubs, and vines that grow nowhere else in the world.  The sub-tropics are geographically located immediately north and south of the tropical zone and have climates much milder than temperate, northern zones.

Some tropical fruits are well known throughout the world and have been consumed for centuries.  Some of these fruits include bananas, pomegranates, mangoes, papaya, avocados, pineapple, guavas, passionfruit and dates.  Many of these fruits are available in markets year-round from a steady supply of fruit produced in the tropics and sub-tropics.  Other tropical fruit are less well known, but are popular in specific countries or regions of the world.  Other previously less well known fruit have recently become popular in the US.  For example açaí fruit is now a popular health drink.

CULTURAL INFORMATION

The majority of tropical fruits develop on trees or shrubs, while a small portion of tropical fruits grow on vines on trellises.  Since tropical and sub-tropical fruits are grown in similar climates, these crops have similar production methods.  The monographs in Volume 2 of this submission include cultivation details for each of the proposed tropical and sub-tropical crops.

PEST PROBLEMS

Environmental conditions in the tropics and sub-tropics are favorable for a wide range of weed, insect and plant diseases on a year-round basis.  These diverse insects, weeds and pathogens often need to be controlled by herbicides, insecticides and fungicides.  A crop group regulation would facilitate the establishment of pesticide tolerances on numerous pesticides that are needed to control a wide diversity of plant pests.

PROPOSED CROP GROUP

The Tropical and sub-tropical fruit, edible peel proposal was initiated at the USDA/IR-4 Crop Grouping Symposium in Washington, DC, October 2002 (see Attachment 2 for Symposium proposal).  This workgroup was Chaired by Michael Braverman (IR-4) and Co-Chaired by Jonathan Crane (University of Florida), Nancy Dodd (EPA), Will Donovan (EPA), Edith Lurvey (IR-4) and Maria Rodriguez (EPA).

This new crop group was further discussed and developed within the Tropical Fruit, Edible Peel Workgroup of the International Crop Grouping Consulting Committee (ICGCC), which consisted of 62 U.S. crop or regulatory experts from agriculture commodity groups, universities, agrichemical industry, IR-4 Project, USDA, and EPA, and also 33 international crop or regulatory experts representing over 30 countries.  The Workgroup discussed and validated each of the proposed commodities.  Kathryn Homa (author, IR-4) then updated and developed commodity monographs (Volume 2 of this submission) as supporting data.  A list of references is provided at the end of the monographs.  Copies of partial references are included as Volumes 3 and 4??? of this submission.

An important aspect of developing this new crop group was the harmonization with the Codex Crop Classification of Foods and Animal Feeds.  The Codex classification system is currently under revision with many proposed tropical fruit additions.  The IR-4/EPA Crop Grouping Working Group and the ICGCC are making every effort to collaborate with the revision of the Codex crop classification.  In the current Codex Crop Classification of Foods and Animal Feeds, assorted tropical and sub-tropical fruits – edible peel are included in Group 005 which is classified in Type 01 Fruits.  The IR-4/ICGCC submission will be forwarded to the Codex Electronic Working Group for the revision of the Codex Classification of Foods and Animal Feeds.  This submission includes many of the recently proposed additions of tropical fruits, edible peel to the Codex classification.  The inclusion of tropical fruits with edible peels will ultimately benefit US growers in exporting commodities that would have Codex MRLS established based on a harmonized tropical and sub-tropical fruits, edible peel crop group.

Fruits that are primarily processed into juice, jams, jelly or wine were also included in the edible peel crop group since it was assumed that pesticide residues could contaminate the commodity during processing.  Examples include (1) açaí, which is soaked in water to soften the outer shell; (2) arazá, which is rarely eaten raw due to its acidity and is mostly prepared into a juice or jelly; (3) red bayberry, which has a knobby surface and is prepared into juice, sweets, jam and wine; (4) bilimbi, which is extremely acidic/sour and is usually not eaten raw, but is soaked and boiled to make jam, jelly and beverages and (5) patauá, which is soaked before it is eaten to soften the pulp.

Palm commodities are proposed to be classified in a separate subgroup based on botanical similarity of trees of the family Arecaceae (alt. Palmae).  Generally, trees within the palm family contain a tall, unbranched stem that can reach 80 meters in height, a rosette of leathery, evergreen palmate (fan-like) to pinnate (feather-like) spirally arranged leaves that measure several meters long, spike or branched inflorescences, and berry or drupe fruit.  In most palms, fruit is produced in clusters that hang from the tree.  Because fruit is produced in clusters that are partially exposed to the elements and fruit is located considerably higher on palm trees than other tropical and sub-tropical fruits, similar use patterns of pesticide applications are expected to occur and similar residue patterns can be expected within the palm group.

Some proposed tropical fruits with an edible peel (abrico-da-praia, bacupari, bacupari-do-campo, cambuci, curriola, guabiju, jacaratia, jua, mama-cadela, marmelada, per-do-cerrado, Puerto Rican guava and sorva) were rejected from consideration from the crop group either because there was not enough information available to properly classify them into crop groups and subgroups or they are rarely cultivated.

Table 1 (Tolerances established on Tropical and Subtropical Fruits, Edible Peel, pages 18-21 of this volume) shows the existing US, Codex and EU tolerances for Tropical and Sub-tropical fruits with an edible peel.  The majority of these tolerances are US tolerances and it should be noted that over half of the US tolerances are tolerances for those commodities which are included in the edible peel crop definition as follows:

General commodity 	Specific Commodities Included in Definition 	Comments

Guava 	guava, feijoa, jaboticaba, wax jambu, starfruit, passionfruit, acerola 	Primarily edible peel; note/peel rarely contaminates Passiflora spp. during juicing

Table 2 (Tropical and Subtropical Fruit, Edible Peel Production in 2008, page 22 of this volume) shows the production (2008) of Tropical and Sub-tropical fruits, edible peel from the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) website.  Note the proposed representative crops for the new US Tropical and Sub-tropical, edible peel crop group are among those tropical fruits that are reported by the FAO.

Table 3 (Crop Group Comparisons – Tropical and Subtropical Fruits, Edible Peel , pages 23-30 of this volume) shows a comparison of the classification of tropical fruits from the Codex Classification with both the proposed US grouping and the EU crop regulation.  Most of the proposed additions to the Codex Classification have been included in the US proposed new crop group.

The new Tropical and Sub-Tropical fruits, edible peel crop group consists of a diverse group of plants from many plant families.  Within this group, fruit size of tropical and sub-tropical fruits with edible peels range from a diameter of 0.2 inches (fruit of chirauli-nut, Buchanania latifolia Roxb.) to 8 inches (babaco, Vasconcellea x heilbornii (V. M. Badillo) V. M. Badillo).  In addition to size, the texture of tropical and sub-tropical fruit also varies from a thin smooth peel to a peel with fine hairs or pubescence.

Many publications have documented the relationship between surface area and mass of a commodity (Maclachlan, D.J. and D. Hamilton, 2010; Ripley, B.D., G.M. Ritcey, R. Harris, M.A. Denomme, L. Lissemore, 2003; Matsumura, F., G.M. Boush, T. Misato, eds., 1972; Schneider, B., 2002).   In general, the smaller the object, the larger the ratio of surface area to weight becomes.  For example, pesticide deposits on grapes can be expected to be about 3X the pesticide deposit on apples due to the higher surface area per unit weight (Bates, 1990).  Chili peppers are also often cited as an example.  Because of their size, they normally have a higher residue than sweet peppers (with the same GAP) and are likely to drive a tolerance or MRL for peppers.  There is also indication that surface area/mass ratio plays a more important role on pesticide deposits than pubescence/serration present on surfaces (Sundaram, 1991).

To classify Tropical and Sub-Tropical fruits into groups (edible versus inedible peel) and subgroups, Excel spreadsheets (see Attachment 1) were developed to be able to sort commodities with common characteristics.  These spreadsheets include information regarding the common name, scientific name, taxonomic family name, production in the US, fruit shape, maximum radius (cm) and maximum height (cm) from the literature, calculated volume, calculated surface area, surface area to mass (volume) ratio, texture description and peel texture (see Attachment  1).  These spreadsheets allowed the sorting of commodities into small versus medium to large fruit and also smooth peel versus a rough or hairy peel.  Fruit that were described in the literature as small fruit generally had a surface area/mass (volume) ratio of >1.5:1; so this criteria was used to separate small versus medium to large fruit (surface area/mass (volume) ratio of ≤1.5:1).

Since sorting the spreadsheets into both fruit size (surface area/mass (volume) ratio) and also peel texture resulted in subgroups that could not be supported by an appropriate representative commodity (lack of production in the US), this scheme was rejected (see page 12).  Sorting into fruit size (small versus medium to large fruit) based on the surface area to mass (volume) ratio, with the addition of a palm subgroup resulted in the proposed crop grouping scheme (see page 13).

Based on above background and the input from the International Crop Grouping Consulting Committee (ICGCC), IR-4 and the ICGCC propose that the Tropical and Sub-tropical Fruits, Edible Peel be established as a new crop group.  Three subgroups are proposed:  (1) Subgroup 21A.  Tropical and Sub-Tropical, Small Fruits, Edible Peel; (2) Subgroup 21B. Tropical and Sub-Tropical, Medium to Large Fruits, Edible Peel Subgroup and (3) Subgroup 21C. Tropical and Sub-Tropical Palm Fruits, Edible Peel Subgroup.

Selection of representative commodities should be based on a representative commodity that is most likely to (1) contain the highest residues; (2) be major in terms of production and/or consumption and (3) similar in morphology, growth habit, pest problems and edible portion to the related commodities within a group or subgroup.  Based on these criteria, one representative commodity is proposed (olive) for Subgroup 21A; two representative commodities (fig and guava) are proposed for Subgroup 21B and one representative commodity (date) is proposed for Subgroup 21C.  A crop group regulation would benefit growers and consumers, save considerable taxpayer’s money on residue studies, save time for government agencies on review of residue data and facilitate the establishment of import tolerances.

CROP DEFINITIONS

The current crop definition for tropical and sub-tropical fruit with edible peel is proposed to be removed because the commodities will be included in crop subgroups.

General commodity 	Specific Commodities Included in Definition 	Comments

Guava 	guava, feijoa, jaboticaba, wax jambu, starfruit, passionfruit, acerola 	Primarily edible peel; note/peel rarely contaminates Passiflora spp. during juicing

However, one crop definition is proposed for guava that includes many of the closely related species and varieties.  The following is a proposed crop definition for Tropical and Subtropical Fruit, Edible Peel:

A	B

Guava

(Psidium guajava L.)	Guava, Para (Psidium acutangulum DC.);  Guava, Brazilian (Psidium guineense Sw.);  Guava, cattley (Psidium cattleianum Sabine);  Guava, Costa Rican (Psidium friedrichsthalianum (O. Berg) Nied.);  Guava, purple strawberry (Psidium cattleianum Sabine var. cattleianum);  Guava, strawberry (Psidium cattleianum Sabine var. littorale (Raddi) Fosberg);  Guava, yellow strawberry; (Psidium cattleianum Sabine var. cattleianum forma lucidum O. Deg.);  Guayabillo (Psidium sartorianum (O. Berg) Nied.)

SUGGESTED INTERIM TOLERANCE EXPRESSIONS
