Tree Fruits and Nuts

Arizona producers of citrus fruit, dates, pecans, pistachios, etc. may need to meet the entry requirements of other states and countries. The Plant Services Division safeguards and facilitates Arizona’s fruit and nut processors global market access by achieving a Federally recognized “free-from” status for specific pests through a trapping programs (i.e. exotic fruit fly trapping) and through facility inspections (nut pest monitoring, for instance) for commodities that may be regulated by Arizona, another state or country. Any pest detections that trigger the early detection network have a better chance of mitigating the potential risks to the tree fruit and nut industry.
