Biosecurity Plan for the Grains Industry
GPA takes biosecurity seriously, as part of our long-standing representative responsibilities and advocacy for Australian grain producers and our $13 billion industry.
​
To protect and strengthen our industry, GPA has engaged with Plant Health Australia to consult with other industry groups and governments to develop a plan for our industry to prevent, prepare for and respond to biosecurity risks and emergencies.
The Biosecurity Plan for the Australian Grains Industry 2023-2028 identifies plant pests and the potential threats to the grains industry, activities to reduce biosecurity risk for investment and processes for incursion responses.
​
A key component of this plan is to build on past efforts to identify current and potential plant pests with a practical implementation guide for investment to support surveillance, education and mitigation activities. Governments, industry, researchers and the public were beneficiaries of a strong and prepared biosecurity system.
