Synopsis (short abstract) This report presents the findings of a survey on the successes and challenges of implementation of pest free areas (PFA), which was conducted in 2019 with the aim to provide baseline data on the extent of implementation of PFA-related standards and other capacity development activities. This survey was developed with the input of subject matter experts and administered to International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) Official Contact Points and the World Trade Organization Sanitary and Phytosanitary (WTO SPS) Committee.

    Guide for Establishing and Maintaining Pest Free Areas
    Understanding the principal requirements for pest free areas, pest free places of production, pest free production sites and areas of low pest prevalence
    2019
    Also available in:
    The purpose of the Guide is to support national plant protection organizations (NPPOs) who wish to establish and maintain pest free areas (PFA) including places and/or production sites (PFPP and PFPS) as well as areas of low pest prevalence (ALPP). To facilitate an understanding of the processes to establish and maintain PFAs and ALPPs, a diagram in the form of a decision tree was constructed that identifies and outlines five general phases of programme development as follows: initiation, feasibility, establishment, maintenance, and market access phases. The guide is then divided into corresponding sections that describe what the key elements of each phase are, why these elements are important, what some of the common challenges and pitfalls are, and factors that may influence the success of the different phases such as budget stability, public outreach, availability of good survey and control tools, and open engagement with stakeholders and trading partners. By providing a deeper understanding of the factors that should be considered when establishing a PFA, PFPP, PFPS or ALPP the guide aims to overcome the challenges and maximize the impact of these efforts to the benefit of all parties. The guide concludes by providing a number of case studies from around the world that highlight successful PFA and ALPP programmes and how they deal with particular key issues. This guide contains current experience and the most advanced phytosanitary procedures in the implementation of PFA and ALPP, however, it is subjected to revision and updates as new developments are made available.
