The 2016 Annual Report of the National Agricultural Research and Extension Institute (NAREI) has highlighted the role of the National Plant Protection Organization (NPPO) in providing services designed to support exporters seeking to meet the phytosanitary import requirements of the country’s overseas trading partners and to “provide pest and related information” critical to facilitating trade relationships between Guyana and her various trading partners.
The quarantine service of the NPPO has responsibility for the regulation of agricultural and related commodities during the import and export processes and for the supervision of quarantine treatment of commodities in order to contain the movement of pests during the process of international trade.
