This Industry Advice Notice (IAN) is to advise industry that applications are now open for the accreditation of farms and packhouses to export persimmons to Thailand in 2024.
The department has made several significant changes to the way that we regulate and audit eligible low-risk dairy, egg, and fish export establishments. The department believes these changes will strengthen our already robust system, reduce regulatory burden, and streamline our intervention by focusing on key legislative and market access risks. This means less red tape for industry with the same level of assurance for our trading partners that Australian dairy, egg, and fish products are ready for export.
