In recent years, Citrus SA has been working with Primary Industries and Region’s SA to identify and address the increased risk of fruit fly becoming established in the Riverland.
Earlier this year, new regulations were introduced into the SA Plant Quarantine Standard to require that fruit bins coming from interstate be checked and certified as clean. Under SA’s strict biosecurity measures, this also means that the bins need to be checked on arrival and cleared.
This episode looks at the new regulations with PIRSA’s manager of Plant Health Operations Nick Secombe.
