The IRA has been delayed and further progress is dependent on additional information being provided by the US on citrus canker. Funding for the Florida citrus canker eradication program by the US Dept of Agriculture ceased in January 2006. The US Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is developing an area wide regulatory response and compliance program, the Citrus Health Response Program (CHRP), to suppress citrus canker and address other potential pest threats for the 2006/2007 production season. The CHRP will be considered by Biosecurity Australia in the preparation of the revised draft IRA report for Florida citrus when it is available. |
