Chief Resolution No. 0106-2021-MIDAGRI-SENASA: Budget Allocation for the Fusarium Tropical Race 4 Phytosanitary Emergency Response in Peru

Chief Resolution No. 0106-2021-MIDAGRI-SENASA, dated August 26, 2021, approves the incorporation of PEN 5,144,860 into the institutional budget of Peru's National Agrarian Health Service (SENASA), pursuant to the budget transfer authorized by Supreme Decree No. 206-2021-EF. The funds are earmarked for addressing the nationwide phytosanitary emergency caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense Tropical Race 4 (Foc TR4), a pathogen threatening banana, plantain and other Musa crops. The resolution is an administrative budget allocation measure enabling SENASA to finance institutional phytosanitary emergency response activities. It has nationwide scope and is directly relevant to agrifood systems because the resources are specifically allocated to addressing a major plant health threat to agricultural production. The resolution does not declare the phytosanitary emergency, independently establish new phytosanitary requirements or create a cash transfer program for agricultural producers. Nor does it demonstrate full expenditure execution, spending efficiency or achieved phytosanitary outcomes. Its principal administrative result is the allocation of public budget resources to support the institutional response to Foc TR4.
