Doha: The Ministry of Municipality, represented by the Agricultural Quarantine Offices, inspected 6,301 imported shipments weighing 127,682 tonnes, from various types of imported agricultural consignments, such as plants and production inputs products in June at several customs ports in the country.
A total of 97 shipments that weigh more than 58 tonnes were destroyed for violating the agricultural quarantine law and for numerous damages.
The agricultural quarantine is a first line of defence for protection from agricultural infections.
The preventive procedure aims to protect the country's agricultural wealth from foreign-originated pests. It also requires that all plants, agricultural products and any other materials shall be subject to phytosanitary regulations for its procedures and to ensure that other agricultural production inputs are in conformity with the conditions and specifications.
