Edition 1

Synopsis (short abstract) The purpose of the International Plant Protection Convention is to secure common and effective action to prevent the spread and introduction of plant pests into endangered areas and to promote measures for their control. Implementation of the provisions made in the Convention are guided by the Commission on Phytosanitary Measures. The Implementation Review and Support System for the Convention, which was agreed subsequently, was designed to build on existing or planned processes approved by the Convention’s governing body, facilitating and promoting its implementation.

    Renforcer la résistance des agriculteurs aux parasites et aux maladies des plantes- GCP/GLO/391/EC 2017
    Also available in:
    L’objectif de la Convention internationale pour la protection des végétaux est de garantir des actions communes et efficaces devant prévenir la propagation et l’introduction de parasites dans les zones menacées et de promouvoir des mesures pour leur contrôle. L’application des dispositions de la Convention sont guidées par la Commission sur les mesures phytosanitaires. Le système d’examen et de soutien de la mise en oeuvre utilisé par la Convention, accepté ultérieurement, s’appuie sur les processus existants ou prévus approuvés par l’organe directeur de la Convention qui facilite et encourage sa mise en oeuvre.

    Reducing Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) in Plant Production through Risk Assessment Guidelines - GCP/GLO/519/CAN 2025
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    The need to effectively control antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in plant production has become increasingly urgent, with foodborne AMR posing risks to food safety, trade, and public health. Despite existing guidelines from the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC), Codex Members have faced challenges in applying them practically. In response, the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) initiated this project to provide Members with practical tools to implement the Codex Guidelines for Risk Analysis of Foodborne Antimicrobial Resistance (CXGL 77-2011). The project developed accessible resources in English, French, and Spanish on assessing and preventing AMR risk for fruit and vegetable value chains. These resources and guidelines were piloted through workshops and risk assessment activities in South Africa and Viet Nam, respectively. Policymakers participating in the workshop demonstrated increased knowledge and commitment. In Viet Nam, training on surveillance and data collection provided information on AMR contamination data across plant production value chains, contributing to the development of food safety risk models. Through these efforts, the project aimed to promote the implementation of science-based international guidelines and contribute to harmonizing risk assessment approaches.

    Reducing plant pests and diseases in Botswana - TCP/BOT/3502 2019
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    The agriculture sector in Botswana supplies food and raw materials and is important for maintaining food security at household and national levels. Yet it only contributes 2–3 percent of the country's gross domestic product, and it has the potential to contribute more. Drought, pests and diseases limit crop production in Botswana. This project was implemented to carry out on inventory of crop pests and diseases and to improve the import regulation system and the export certification system, so as to promote trade and agricultural production and ultimately increase food security.
