Electronic phytosanitary certification is still at the beginning stages amid a growing need for swift progress towards a more efficient system, according to representatives of The Southern Hemisphere Association of Fresh Fruit Exporters (SHAFFE).
SHAFFE, together with Freshfel Europe and the Global Alliance for Trade Facilitation, has held two webinars on the state of play of electronic phytosanitary certificates.
At the center of the meetings was the evolution of the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) ePhyto Hub, a global transmission system for phytosanitary certificates to which nearly 50 countries have been connected already.
The webinar addressed key challenges such as different safety requirements, competition of the ePhyto hub with bilateral channels and different speeds of onboarding – while the fruit sector underlined the urgency to go completely go paperless.
SHAFFE members look positively towards the future
During the Southern Hemisphere Fruit Trade Congress 2021, members of the Southern Hemisphere Association of Fresh Fruit Exporters reviewed the challenges and opportunities exporters and growers from the region are currently facing.
SHAFFE members have a positive perception of future seasons, whilst E-commerce and health trends are perceived as the main drivers for growth! We are glad to share the full overview of SHAFFE exporter perspectives on the market in 2021 with our latest Southern Hemisphere Outlook Survey via this link.
