2 Plant Biosecurity The National Exposure On average Australia records between plant pest incursions each year. Source: Plant Biosecurity CRC Recent incursions of note include: Red imported fire ant (NSW) Mango malformation (NT) Potato spindle tuber viroid (WA) Cocoa pod borer (Qld) Chestnut blight (Vic) Lettuce aphid (TAS) Myrtle rust (NSW) Vegetable leaf miner (Qld) Banana freckle (NT) Multiple mealybugs (Qld) Electric ant (Qld) Green snail (Vic) Russian wheat aphid (SA) Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (NT) Giant pine scale (Vic & SA) Pyriform scale (WA) Panama TR4 (Qld) Tomato potato psyllid (WA)

3 An Increasing Biosecurity Risk for Horticulture Biosecurity risks are growing due to increased global trade and travel, increased agricultural expansion and intensification, increased urbanisation close to farmlands, and other factors such as climate change.

If you look at the number of incidents related to biosecurity in Western Australia it's definitely going up.

4 Biosecurity risk promoters increase farm pressures Off-farm risk promoters Increasing international travel Increasing domestic travel Domestic & international migration Increasing international trade Declining government biosecurity investment Reduced government biosecurity service delivery On-farm risk promoters Source of planting material (high health) Location of planting material (interstate) Continuity of input supply (reliable) Labour movement (domestic & international) Vehicle & equipment (on & off farm movement) Management system (internal verification) In August 2015, the Victorian Auditor-General reported a reduction in the Victorian Government s ability to detect, respond and prepare for an emergency response outbreak.

6 Nursery Production Supply Chains Nursery Production in Australia Located in every state & territory a broadly dispersed industry underpinning most horticulture plant industries. Supply chains (varied): Urban retail e.g. Bunnings, etc. Landscape greenlife e.g. Urban development Fruit & Vegetable e.g. Citrus or tomato farmer Forestry e.g. Pine or eucalypt timber plantations Revegetation e.g. Riparian zones & mine sites

19 BioSecure HACCP a Systems Approach BioSecure HACCP is the on-farm biosecurity program for Australian production nurseries BioSecure HACCP Guidelines provide a systematic approach for production nurseries to assess their biosecurity hazards and identify critical control points achieved through documented procedures The program seeks to identify internal and external threats to the integrity of a business s biosecurity preparedness. Recognises business skill sets and capacity in pest risk management progressing to self certification for market access.

20 BioSecure HACCP Underpinning strengths of BioSecure HACCP Industry owned Independently audited Risk assessment based approach Technical assistance provided on-farm Action planning & prioritisation assistance (BMP) Technologically adaptive management systems Recognising current on-farm practices On-farm records demonstrate due diligence Driven by continuous improvement Focused on business profitability & sustainability Rapidly adaptable to industry needs and technological advances Capacity to integrate resources and on-farm activities into the system A whole farm pest management plan (insect/disease & weed)

21 BioSecure HACCP BioSecure HACCP is the result of a generic Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) based risk assessment of production nurseries validating the activities described in the Nursery Industry Accreditation Scheme Australia (NIASA) Best Management Practice Guidelines and addressing identified gaps. Government benefits Shared responsibility/co-regulation Red tape reduction Resource utilisation improvements Efficiency through electronic systems Enhanced traceability Building a robust biosecurity system Industry benefits Shared responsibility/co-regulation Recognition of good horticultural practice Enhanced trading flexibility Improved productivity Cost reductions Prompt return to trade after EPP detection
