    What is it all about?

    This project will review and update the Biosecurity Plan for the Australian potato industry, ensuring it accurately reflects current and emerging exotic pest threats. Led by Plant Health Australia (PHA) in collaboration with AUSVEG and key industry stakeholders, the project will deliver a new Biosecurity Plan (version 4.0) and a practical Biosecurity Action Plan. These documents will provide a framework for identifying, prioritising, and managing biosecurity risks, guiding future investment in research, diagnostics, and industry communications. 

    The project’s outputs will help the potato industry and government agencies plan and implement effective biosecurity activities, strengthen preparedness and resilience, and safeguard production and market access against exotic pest threats.
