APHIS Seeks Comment on Draft Pest Risk Assessment for the Importation of Pineapple from the Philippines

Having trouble viewing this email? View it as a Web page. The government of the Philippines has asked USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) to authorize the importation of pineapple (Ananas comosus) for consumption into the United States and Territories. APHIS has drafted a pest risk assessment that describes potential pests associated with the commodity.  APHIS shares draft pest risk assessments and pest lists to determine whether stakeholders have information that might lead us to revise the draft assessment before we identify pest mitigations and proceed with the commodity import approval process.   The draft pest risk assessment for pineapple for consumption from the Philippines will be available for review and comment until April 22, 2021. To view the assessment or submit comments, go to https://www.aphis.usda.gov/plant-health/risk-assessment-consultation. Questions about APHIS programs and services?
