The Pacific Plant Protection Organisation (PPPO) was founded in October 1994 by the South Pacific Conference (now Pacific Community Conference) at its 34th Session in Port Vila, Vanuatu.
The Land Resources Division of the Secretariat of the Pacific Community is the Secretariat of the PPPO and runs the day-to-day affairs of the organisation. The PPPO has the responsibility of coordinating harmonization of phytosanitary measures, foster co-operation in plant protection and other phytosanitary matters among and between Members and countries and organisations outside the Pacific region. The PPPO also act for the members in developing contacts with, and where appropriate providing input into, other global and regional organisations that have authority in such matters.
PPPO is one of the Regional Plant Protection Organisation recognised by the International Plant Protection Convention and exists to provide advice on phytosanitary measures in order to facilitate trade without jeopardizing the plant health status of the importing Members and contries and in particular: 1. to ensure that the views and concerns of Pacific members are adquately taken into account in the development and implementation of global phytosanitary measure 2. assist in the development and implementation of effective and justified phytosanitary measure 3. provide a framework for regional and global co-operation in phytosanitary matters consistent with international principles for trade in plants and plant products 4. facilitate the flow of information among Members and with other regional plant protection organizations and 5. collaborate with the SPC Plant Protection Service (now as part of the Land Resources Division) on specific issues including pesticides and integrated pest management..
