  The Ministry of Agriculture has partially lifted a ban on fresh produce  imports from Queensland.
Imports were suspended on Friday after  fruit fly eggs were found in a container of rock melon, zucchini and  beans from there.
MAF Biosecurity says it has reviewed  Queensland's biosecurity measures and as a result has lifted the  suspension on all produce, except rock melon and zucchini.
However,  the agency says a ban on rock melon and zucchini will remain in place  until the Australian Quarantine service completes its investigation.
Fruit  fly are one of the biggest threats to New Zealand's horticulture  industry.
In Australia, it is considered the country's most  serious insect pest for fruit and vegetable crops.
