This Industry Advice Notice (IAN) is to provide clarity to industry on the methyl bromide fumigation requirements for horticulture exports.
Agriculture is central to the strength of our economy. We export two thirds of Australia's agricultural products every year.
We are striving to strengthen our agricultural exports. One way of achieving this is through the Modernising Agricultural Trade program. This program will update the systems that support agricultural trade and improve how we regulate this trade.
This program will benefit farmers and producers. An initial investment of $32.4 million over a period of 4 years has been committed, beginning in 2018-19. This is an Australian Government initiative.
