The public debate between AUSVEG and the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) in Australia continues, with AUSVEG querying DAFF’s decision to go ahead with plans in light of South Korea’s decision to suspend imports of US potatoes due to concerns over zebra chip disease.
“The actions of the South Korean Government should set an example for DAFF Biosecurity about the appropriate level of caution when dealing with the zebra chip disease,” said William Churchill, AUSVEG Public Affairs Manager.
