The Industry Advisory Group (IAG) of the ePhyto Solution met on 30 January at WTO in Geneva, Switzerland. IGTC was elected Chair of the IAG in July 2018 for a term of two years, with Alejandra Danielson Castillo (US Grains Council) taking the role. Seven global commodity flows were represented at Wednesday’s Geneva meeting, with agreements on:

• The launch of a cross-sector communications campaign to promote a fully functioning ePhyto Solution. 
• Industry’s role in calling for an increase in governments registering for the ePhyto Solution to ensure maximum global coverage.
• The urgent need for all commodity flows to “test” ePhyto exchange via case studies, to determine the interoperability with commercial operations.
