In 2020, Peru successfully protected its citrus industry from the HLB or Yellow Dragon disease, a significant economic threat, through dedicated phytosanitary strategies in Tumbes and Piura. These efforts, led by Senasa in collaboration with small producers and local authorities, included highly sensitive surveillance for the early detection of the Diaphorina citri vector, the establishment of a comprehensive trapping network, and the inspection of over 197,000 kilos of uncertified fruit.
