To ensure its future viability and sustainability, it is vital that the Australian coffee industry minimise the risks posed by exotic pests and respond effectively to plant pest threats. The Biosecurity Plan for the Australian Coffee Industry (v 1.0) is a framework to coordinate biosecurity activities and investment for Australia’s coffee industry.
