PLEASE NOTE: The preharvest sampling procedure for the 2022 export season has been updated! We are working on updating the Monitoring and Inspection for Phytosanitary Markets videos, but in the meantime, please see CRI's Cutting Edge No. 331 on the CRW website (https://bit.ly/33u9Rss) and this video detailing the latest updates (https://bit.ly/3K3a0DS), for more information. • In order to mitigate the risks associated with exports to markets with particular phytosanitary concerns, the citrus industry has implemented management protocols and systems over the past few years. An essential element of these systems and protocols is the monitoring and inspection for infestation of pest insects that are of particular concern to sensitive export markets. • For the citrus industry, these pests are in particular false codling moth (FCM) and fruit fly. Farms and packhouses are responsible for appointing orchard monitors and packhouse inspectors, and for ensuring that they are trained to perform these duties. • It is essential that inspectors and monitors are able to conduct effective monitoring and inspection, that the levels of infestation in orchards are being monitored and reported accurately, and that incidents of infestation in the packhouse are promptly detected.
