Schumer visited Fruition Farm in Wayne County to call upon the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to immediately halt any plans by the USDA to allow imports of apples and pears from Poland until USDA conducts a pest risk assessment for Polish apples in order to ensure that apple and pear imports are able to be certified free of pests. For several years, invasive insects and pests have found their way into the United States, harming fruit and other produce. The most recent example is the brown marmorated stink bug. Now, Schumer warned, with plans advancing to bring Polish apples and pears to New York, the potential for invasive species-laden fruit to wreak devastating harm to Wayne County’s Orchards will increase exponentially. Schumer therefore called for a halt to advancing plans for polish apple imports.</span></p>"}}
