Peruvian agricultural health service professionals received training to prevent and early detect the Diaphorina citri vector, which transmits Huanglongbing (HLB) disease, a condition not yet present in Peru. This collaboration with the Association of Citrus Producers of Peru and Chinese expert Dr. Changyong Zhou aimed to understand the global situation and Chinese control measures for HLB. The disease poses a significant threat to over 90,000 Peruvian citrus growers, risking the production of more than 58,000 hectares of citrus and affecting national and international gastronomy.

Additionally, Senasa is advising the public to avoid bringing in citrus propagation materials and myrtle, which is often used in floral arrangements, to prevent the introduction of the disease.
