National Farm-Level Biosecurity Standard and Guide for Fruit and Tree Nut Industries

Add your input to biosecurity standards for the fruit industry across Canada!

The Canadian Plant Health Council (CPHC), in collaboration with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, is seeking your input on the National Farm-Level Biosecurity Standard and Biosecurity Guide for the Fruit and Tree Nut Industries.

Why is this important?

Biosecurity is critical to protecting Canada’s fruit and tree nut industries from pests, diseases, and other risks that can impact productivity and market access. The current standard and guide were developed almost 10 years ago, and we want to ensure they remain relevant and effective in today’s production environment.

What’s available to help you?

The CPHC has developed a short overview video that explains the purpose and key elements of the standard. You can view it here: https://youtu.be/SDdqJ0aBdfE

How can you provide feedback?

We invite you to share your thoughts on whether the standard and guide require updating. Feedback can be provided in two ways:

  1. Complete the questionnaire available here: https://forms-formulaires.alpha.canada.ca/en/id/cmr5849uu008x01yl2churwpp
