The role and importance of plant quarantine for the support of fresh horticultural commodities

The paper explains the unrestricted entry of plant materials be it for consumption, propagation, etc., has also introduced new pests and diseases which have caused great economic losses to our locally grown crops such as the cabbage looper, thrips and the burrowing nematode. The Plant Quarantine Department recognizes that the volume of exports would continue to increase. It is the desire of the Plant Quarantine Department to ensure that all plant material, that is, cut flowers, fruits, vegetables, planting material, etc., are free from pest and diseases and that exporters will comply accordingly. This would not only build a name for the exporter, who has secured markets, but it will definitely build a name for Trinidad and Tobago. (MIBA)
