Commencement of a pest risk analysis for khapra beetle (Trogoderma granarium)

Description

Following a marked increase in khapra beetle interceptions, in 2020 Australia introduced emergency measures to prevent its introduction through plant products and sea containers.

This Biosecurity Advice notifies stakeholders of the formal commencement of a pest risk analysis for khapra beetle (Trogoderma granarium), consistent with standard processes.

The department expects to release the draft report for public consultation in early 2023.
