The integrity of the Australian mango industry is underpinned by robust biosecurity mechanisms. An ongoing proactive approach to biosecurity is essential to minimise the risk of exotic pests impacting our industry. With this approach, the industry is better placed to protect Australian growers as well as maintaining and improving domestic and international trade.
The industry has a Biosecurity Plan, develped by Plant Health Australia in collaboration with industry and government. The Mango Industry Biosecurity Plan identifies exotic pests and outlines key threats, risk mitigation plans and contingency plans for the industry.
The Biosecurity Plan for the Mango Industry was updated by Plant Health Australia (PHA) in collaboration with AMIA and State/Territory Governments in 2022.
AMIA is a member of PHA, the national coordinator of the government-industry partnership for plant biosecurity in Australia. PHA works with its members to address high priority plant health issues. Members include the Australian Government, all State and Territory Governments and a range of plant industry organisations. For more information, visit the PHA website.
AMIA is also a signatory to the Emergency Plant Pest Response Deed (EPPRD), an agreement that covers the management and funding of responses to Emergency Plant Pest. PHA, the Australian Government, all state and territory governments and most national plant industry bodies are signatories. For more information on the EPPRD, click here.
