Challenges
Lack of awareness about plant quarantine system
among different stakeholders ( at policy level, high
officials, businessman and mass people level)
There is a clear structure and division of
responsibilities within the plant health service but the
NPPO is an independent body to carry out its tasks
effectively in line with the international standard.
The financial resources for the NPPO are provided
from the state budget. The NPPO is under the
Director General of the Department of Agricultural
Extension under the Ministry of Agriculture.
