Administrative Resolution SENASAG No. 248/2022 – Phytosanitary Surveillance System Manual of the Plurinational State of Bolivia

This resolution approves Bolivia’s updated Phytosanitary Surveillance System Manual, which sets out the technical procedures, responsibilities, and operational guidelines for general and specific pest surveillance in crops, forests, wild flora, and regulated articles. The Manual aligns with International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPM), particularly ISPM No. 6, and establishes protocols for early pest detection, systematic monitoring, official reporting, laboratory confirmation, risk analysis support, and the establishment and verification of pest-free areas, reinforcing Bolivia’s national phytosanitary capacity and its ability to support safe international trade.
