Phytosanitary requirements established for the import of oil palm seeds from Honduras

Peru's National Agrarian Health Service (Senasa) has introduced compulsory phytosanitary measures for importing sprouted oil palm seeds (Elaeis guineensis) from Honduras, as outlined in Directorial Resolution No. D000012-2024-Midagri-Senasa-DSV, announced on March 24 in El Peruano. This initiative is designed to safeguard Peruvian agriculture by reducing the risk of introducing quarantine pests through these imports, ensuring a higher level of agricultural protection.
