Paperless trade - ePhyto Solution now open to countries worldwide
The IGTC’s global communications campaign on electronic phytosanitary certificates (ePhytos) was launched on 26 June following the opening of the ePhyto Hub to all countries around the world.
Central to the IGTC's communications campaign are 5 key messages highlighting to governments their crucial role in establishing a fully functioning, widely adopted system if the initiative is to be of true benefit for global trade.
Grain trade leaders will be raising these messages during their in-country conversations on the digitization of trading documentation. In addition, the IGTC will continue its active communication at global level with the Industry Advisory Group (IAG) of the ePhyto solution, a group that allows relevant private sector actors to share "real-life" experiences to better inform the implementation of the project.
Upcoming meetings:
* First round of ePhyto countries: Argentina, Australia, Chile, China, Ecuador, Kenya, Netherlands, New Zealand, Republic of Korea, USA // countries testing the generic system: Ghana, Samoa, Sri Lanka
