Tridge summary

The National Agricultural Health Service (Senasa) of Peru has introduced new regulations for the importation of in vitro banana and plantain plants from four countries: Dominican Republic, Honduras, Costa Rica, and Israel. The directive, published in the Legal Standards Bulletin of El Peruano, replaces previous resolutions and details the specific tissue culture production requirements for these plants. In cases where a pest is detected, Senasa can extend the post-entry quarantine period until the pest status is confirmed and necessary phytosanitary measures are implemented. Additionally, the policy allows for the import of in vitro banana and plantain plants with valid phytosanitary import permits issued under the repealed resolutions.
