• Major Contributors to Florida as Pest Donors – Caribbean, Central and South America – Asia – As well as the combination of Asia to Caribbean to Florida APS, San Diego 2007: Free Trade—Challenges to Plant Health
Dilemma of Safer and Freer Trade in Florida
• In 2000, US agriculture worth $1 trillion in annual economic activity • Imported agricultural commodities valued at $38 billion • Costs to control is tens of billions of dollars
APS, San Diego 2007: Free Trade—Challenges to Plant Health
Dilemma Dilemmaof ofSafer Saferand andFreer FreerTrade Tradein inFlorida Florida
• Invasions by nonindigenous species cost US taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars a year due to environmental degradation, lost agricultural productivity, expensive eradication efforts and increased health problems – A specific study estimated the cost at
$120 billion/year. This has been viewed as an underestimate APS, San Diego 2007: Free Trade—Challenges to Plant Health

• The Safeguarding Target in Florida – Cash receipts in FY 2005 • • • • • •
Citrus $1.6 billion Vegetables $1.6 billion Greenhouse and nurseries $976 million Berries and melons $324 million Field crops $653 million Fruits and nuts $283 million
= $5.4 billion APS, San Diego 2007: Free Trade—Challenges to Plant Health
Dilemma Dilemmaof ofSafer Saferand andFreer FreerTrade Tradein inFlorida Florida
• In Florida: – Citrus canker cost $452+ million in total • plus 5-year industry sales loss of $775 million
– Leatherleaf fern anthracnose cost $34 million • plus 5-yr industry sales loss of $56 million

Dilemma Dilemmaof ofSafer Saferand andFreer FreerTrade Tradein inFlorida Florida
• A medley of pests in FL from 1995-2005 have cost $171 million – with expected 5-yr losses of $895 million • Annual potential sales loss with statewide spread = $1.2 billion
• $1.2 billion loss/ $5.4 billion receipts =
22% impact potential APS, San Diego 2007: Free Trade—Challenges to Plant Health
Dilemma Dilemmaof ofSafer Saferand andFreer FreerTrade Tradein inFlorida Florida
• Safer Trade, as viewed from a State perspective, is hindered by: Lack of a single binding international treaty for invasive species No federal requirement for rapid response to a new invasive species
International trade agreements make it difficult to regulate products that may introduce invasive species because the trade agreements do not consider invasive species.
Lack of adequate funds for inspection and enforcement activities Difficulties managing invasive species due to international trade agreements
No single federal agency has overall responsibility for invasive species There is an inherent conflict in promoting international trade and trying to prevent invasive species from coming into the US from foreign countries APS, San Diego 2007: Free Trade—Challenges to Plant Health
Dilemma Dilemmaof ofSafer Saferand andFreer FreerTrade Tradein inFlorida Florida
• Another major barrier is the lack of addressing species unknown to science: – Chestnut blight – Dogwood anthracnose – Sudden oak death – Butternut canker – All unknown at time of introduction • Only an estimated 7% of fungal species have been described and studied.
APS, San Diego 2007: Free Trade—Challenges to Plant Health
Dilemma Dilemmaof ofSafer Saferand andFreer FreerTrade Tradein inFlorida Florida
• Challenges to be addressed: – Internet orders – Public awareness and interest – • absent or ignored or not enough or all of the above
– – –
Trans-shipping Smuggling Inadequate inspections at ports of entry, land crossings and domestic survey due to lack of resources - $$ – Inadequate levels of sanitation at the points of origin and our continued acceptance of infested products APS, San Diego 2007: Free Trade—Challenges to Plant Health

Dilemma Dilemmaof ofSafer Saferand andFreer FreerTrade Tradein inFlorida Florida
• Major Contributors to Florida as Pest Donors – Caribbean, Central and South America – Asia – As well as the combination of Asia to Caribbean to Florida APS, San Diego 2007: Free Trade—Challenges to Plant Health
Dilemma of Safer and Freer Trade in Florida
• In 2000, US agriculture worth $1 trillion in annual economic activity • Imported agricultural commodities valued at $38 billion • Costs to control is tens of billions of dollars

Dilemma Dilemmaof ofSafer Saferand andFreer FreerTrade Tradein inFlorida Florida
• Invasions by nonindigenous species cost US taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars a year due to environmental degradation, lost agricultural productivity, expensive eradication efforts and increased health problems – A specific study estimated the cost at
$120 billion/year. This has been viewed as an underestimate APS, San Diego 2007: Free Trade—Challenges to Plant Health

• The Safeguarding Target in Florida – Cash receipts in FY 2005 • • • • • •
Citrus $1.6 billion Vegetables $1.6 billion Greenhouse and nurseries $976 million Berries and melons $324 million Field crops $653 million Fruits and nuts $283 million
= $5.4 billion APS, San Diego 2007: Free Trade—Challenges to Plant Health
Dilemma Dilemmaof ofSafer Saferand andFreer FreerTrade Tradein inFlorida Florida
• In Florida: – Citrus canker cost $452+ million in total • plus 5-year industry sales loss of $775 million
– Leatherleaf fern anthracnose cost $34 million • plus 5-yr industry sales loss of $56 million

Dilemma Dilemmaof ofSafer Saferand andFreer FreerTrade Tradein inFlorida Florida
• A medley of pests in FL from 1995-2005 have cost $171 million – with expected 5-yr losses of $895 million • Annual potential sales loss with statewide spread = $1.2 billion
• $1.2 billion loss/ $5.4 billion receipts =
22% impact potential APS, San Diego 2007: Free Trade—Challenges to Plant Health
Dilemma Dilemmaof ofSafer Saferand andFreer FreerTrade Tradein inFlorida Florida
• Safer Trade, as viewed from a State perspective, is hindered by: Lack of a single binding international treaty for invasive species No federal requirement for rapid response to a new invasive species
International trade agreements make it difficult to regulate products that may introduce invasive species because the trade agreements do not consider invasive species.
Lack of adequate funds for inspection and enforcement activities Difficulties managing invasive species due to international trade agreements
No single federal agency has overall responsibility for invasive species There is an inherent conflict in promoting international trade and trying to prevent invasive species from coming into the US from foreign countries APS, San Diego 2007: Free Trade—Challenges to Plant Health
Dilemma Dilemmaof ofSafer Saferand andFreer FreerTrade Tradein inFlorida Florida
• Another major barrier is the lack of addressing species unknown to science: – Chestnut blight – Dogwood anthracnose – Sudden oak death – Butternut canker – All unknown at time of introduction • Only an estimated 7% of fungal species have been described and studied.

• Challenges to be addressed: – Internet orders – Public awareness and interest – • absent or ignored or not enough or all of the above

Trans-shipping Smuggling Inadequate inspections at ports of entry, land crossings and domestic survey due to lack of resources - $$ – Inadequate levels of sanitation at the points of origin and our continued acceptance of infested products APS, San Diego 2007: Free Trade—Challenges to Plant Health

Florida – a high-risk sentinel state for exotic invasive pests
Poster child for where global marketplace, increasing importation of agricultural products and numbers of travelers overwhelms our safeguarding systems to effectively deter establishment or achieve early detection. APS, San Diego 2007: Free Trade—Challenges to Plant Health
