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 (for
example, dragonfruit).  Since tropical and subtropical 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 subtropical 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 subtropical fruit, inedible 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, Inedible 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 – inedible peel are included in Group 006 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,
inedible peel to the Codex classification.  The inclusion of tropical
fruits with inedible peels will ultimately benefit US growers in
exporting commodities that would have Codex MRLS established based on a
harmonized tropical and subtropical fruits, inedible peel crop group.  

Four proposed tropical fruits with an inedible peel from the palm family
((Arecaceae (alt. Palmae)) were rejected from consideration from the
inedible peel crop group either because none of the commodities met the
criteria for a representative commodity or there was no production in
the US.  These rejected tropical fruits include:  (1) Guriri
(Allagoptera arenaria (Gomes) Kuntze); (2) Muriti (Mauritia flexuosa
L.f.); (3) Palmyra palm (Borassus flabellifer L.) and (4) Salak (Salacca
zalacca (Gaertn.) Voss).  Crop monographs were written, but these
commodities are proposed to remain as miscellaneous commodities.



Some proposed tropical fruits with an inedible peel (ceibillo, Florida
gooseberry, marolo, pindaiba, tucum palm and umari) were also 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,
Inedible Peel, pages 15-25 of this volume) shows the existing US, Codex
and EU tolerances for Tropical and Subtropical fruits with an inedible
peel.  The majority of these tolerances are US and EU tolerances and it
should be noted that over 80% of the US tolerances are tolerances for
those commodities which are included in the inedible peel crop
definitions as follows: 

General commodity 	Specific Commodities Included in Definition 	Comments


Sugar Apple 	sugar apple, cherimoya, atemoya, custard apple ilama,
soursop, biriba 	All crops in the Annonaceae ; similar gross morphology;
inedible peel 

Lychee 	lychee, longan, Spanish lime, rambutan, pulasan 	All crops in
the Sapindaceae ; inedible peel 

Papaya 	papaya, star apple, black sapote, mango, sapodilla, canistel,
mamey sapote 	All crops have inedible peel; corresponds to Codex
classification 

Avocado 	avocado, papaya, star apple, black sapote, mango, sapodilla,
canistel, mamey sapote 	All crops have inedible peel; corresponds to
Codex classification 

Banana 	Banana, plantain 	 



Table 2 (Tropical and Subtropical Fruit, Inedible Peel Production in
2008, page 26 of this volume) shows the production (2008) of Tropical
and Subtropical fruits, inedible peel from the FAO (Food and Agriculture
Organization of the United Nations) website.  Production of the majority
of these crops occurs predominantly in tropical regions rather than in
the US.  

Table 3 (Crop Group Comparisons – Tropical and Subtropical Fruits,
Inedible Peel , pages 28-35 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
proposed new US crop group.



The new Tropical and Subtropical fruits, inedible peel, crop group
consists of a diverse group of plants from many plant families.  Within
this group, fruit size ranges from an approximate diameter of 1
centimeter (fruit of satinleaf, Chrysophyllum oliviforme L.) to 50
centimeters (fruit of jackfruit, Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam.).  In
addition to size, the peel texture of tropical and subtropical fruit
varies from a smooth peel (banana, Musa spp.; mango, Mangifera indica
L.; papaya, Carica papaya L. and pomegranate, Punica granatum L.) to a
knobby, (atemoya, Annona cherimola Mill. X A. squamosa L.), bumpy
(breadfruit, Artocarpus altilis (Parkinson) Fosberg) or spiny (rambutan,
Nephelium lappaceum L.) peel.   

Many publications have documented the relationship between surface area
and mass of a commodity and pesticide residues (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.  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).  Because of this commodities in the proposed new crop
group were first sorted by size and then by peel texture.

ruit (surface area/mass (volume) ratio of ≤1.5:1).

Sorting the spreadsheets based on both fruit size (surface area/mass
(volume) ratio) and also peel texture resulted in subgroups that were
supported by appropriate representative commodities.  In addition,
subgroups were developed for unique groups of plants (cactus and vines).
 The proposed tropical and subtropical fruits, inedible peel crop group
is shown on page 11.  



Based on the above background and the input from the International Crop
Grouping Consulting Committee (ICGCC), IR-4 and the ICGCC propose that
the tropical and subtropical Fruits, Inedible Peel crop group be
established as a new crop group.  Five subgroups are proposed:  (1)
Subgroup 22A.  Tropical and Subtropical, Small Fruit, Inedible Peel
Subgroup;  (2) Subgroup 22B. Tropical and Subtropical, Medium to Large
Fruits, Smooth, Inedible Peel Subgroup;  (3) Subgroup 21C. Tropical and
Subtropical, Medium to Large Fruit, Rough or Hairy, Inedible Peel
Subgroup; (4) Subgroup 21D. Tropical and Subtropical, Inedible Peel,
Cactus Subgroup and (5) Subgroup 21E. Tropical and Subtropical, Inedible
Peel, Vine 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 (lychee) for Subgroup
22A; two representative commodities (avocado and pomegrante) are
proposed for Subgroup 22B; two representative commodities (atemoya and
pineapple) are proposed for Subgroup 22C; two representative commodities
(dragon fruit and prickly pear) are proposed for Subgroup 22D and one
representative commodity (passionfruit) is proposed for Subgroup 22E.  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 definitions for tropical and subtropical fruit with
inedible peel are proposed to be removed because these commodities will
be included in the appropriate subgroups (except that banana is proposed
for an expanded crop definition – see below).

General commodity 	Specific Commodities Included in Definition 	Comments


Sugar Apple 	sugar apple, cherimoya, atemoya, custard apple ilama,
soursop, biriba 	All crops in the Annonaceae ; similar gross morphology;
inedible peel 

Lychee 	lychee, longan, Spanish lime, rambutan, pulasan 	All crops in
the Sapindaceae ; inedible peel 

Papaya 	papaya, star apple, black sapote, mango, sapodilla, canistel,
mamey sapote 	All crops have inedible peel; corresponds to Codex
classification 

Avocado 	avocado, papaya, star apple, black sapote, mango, sapodilla,
canistel, mamey sapote 	All crops have inedible peel; corresponds to
Codex classification 

Banana 	Banana, plantain 	 



However, crop definitions are proposed for avocado, passionfruit and
banana that include many of the closely related species and varieties. 
The following are the proposed crop definitions for Tropical and
Subtropical Fruit, Inedible Peel:

A	B

Avocado

(Persea americana Mill.)	Avocado (Persea americana Mill.);  Avocado,
Guatemalan (Persea americana Mill. var. guatemalensis); Avocado, Mexican
(Persea americana Mill. var. drymifolia (Schltdl. & Cham.) S. F. Blake);
Avocado, West Indian (Persea americana var. americana)

Passionfruit

(Passiflora edulis Sims)	Passionfruit (Passiflora edulis Sims); 
Passionfruit, Purple (Passiflora edulis Sims forma edulis);
Passionfruit, Yellow (Passiflora edulis Sims forma flavicarpa O. Deg.)

Banana (Musa spp.)	Banana (Musa spp.); Banana, Dwarf (Musa hybrids; Musa
acuminata Colla); Plantain (Musa x paradisiaca L.  )



SUGGESTED INTERIM TOLERANCE EXPRESSIONS

	Until the new crop group is published in 40 CFR, the author suggests
that the Minor Use Branch of the Registration Division and the ChemSAC,
EPA/OPP approve the proposed crop group and establish following interim
tolerance expressions to be used in tolerance petitions:
