The most recent release, "APHIS Seeks Comment on Draft Pest Risk Assessment for the Importation of Fresh Coconut from Viet Nam," was submitted on Jan. 31.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service published 10 the month before, marking a 120 percent increase for the current month.
The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service protects and promotes U.S. agricultural health, regulates genetically engineered organisms, administers the Animal Welfare Act, and manages wildlife damage.
A desired increase in funding will support programs to help control or eradicate plant and animal pests and diseases that can be crippling to US producers.
