Citrus Australia and Plant Health Australia (PHA) have developed a Biosecurity Resource Toolkit to educate citrus industry members about response actions under the Emergency Plant Pest Response Deed (EPPRD) and prepare them for plant pest emergencies.
Through a collection of 12 articles, the toolkit will improve your understanding of national biosecurity arrangements and highlight that as your peak industry body, Citrus Australia will be a source of truth and point of contact during a plant pest response.
