Mexico seed testing harmonization delegation visits US
After the visit, ASTA hopes the Mexican government will agree to conduct a harmonization pilot program. Under the program, seed shipments moving from the US to Mexico with an additional declaration will not be re-tested at the point of entry if they already have a negative test result from an NSHS-accredited entity.
The proposed pilot would be limited to a couple of seed species and corresponding pathogens.
