Consultation on National Potato Wart Response Plan Launched
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) announced the launch of a public consultation for the proposed National Potato Wart Response Plan. This plan aims to update and enhance current measures to manage and prevent the spread of potato wart, a significant threat to the potato industry. Stakeholders including the Canadian Potato Council and the PEI Potato Board have been integral in the plan's development. The Response Plan will be updated as new scientific data becomes available and is open for public feedback until January 6, 2025.
