What was it all about?

Beginning in 2016, this five-year investment reviewed and updated the Australian vegetable industry’s current biosecurity plan. The revised plan identifies the current highest-risk pests to the industry, the risk mitigation activities needed to reduce the biosecurity threat, and the surveillance and diagnostic activities and capabilities available.

The industry’s current biosecurity plan is available from the Plant Health Australia here.
