IPPC ePhyto Project

This week, the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) released informational communications about the ePhyto Solution and how industry can get involved. The ePhyto Solution is the electronic certification system that has three core components: a hub system to facilitate the exchange of phytos; a centralized, web-based system that allows countries with their own system to produce, send and receive phytos; and a harmonized and standardized approach in format, structure and codes for certificate exchange. The communication highlights how companies and governments can get involved in the system, and key findings from recent “case studies.” A copy of the communication can be found here.
