Understanding Plant Quarantine and Phytosanitary Measures
Plant quarantine involves efforts to prevent the entry, establishment, or spread of foreign pests through legal restrictions on plant and plant product movement. It is crucial for safeguarding plant health, food production, and ecosystems. Phytosanitary measures aim to ensure the health of plants by addressing pests that require quarantine. This includes inspections, tests, surveillance, and treatments to control regulated pests. The history and significance of plant quarantine services and the role of phytosanitary procedures in issuing certificates are highlighted.

The NPPO is under the Director General of the Department of Agricultural Extension under the Ministry ofAgriculture.
Export Supply Chain Management Export Supply Chain Management Absence of direct linkage Procure through middlemen / farmers Transportation in bus top or loaded truck Lack of supervised production, poor PHH & almost absence of cool chain management Graded & packed in the sheds of exporter Traditional exporters packed in bamboo baskets & 2nd hand paper cartons. No traceability system in place. Acute shortage of air cargo space
