Short Description

The Plant Health Act came into operation on February 1, 2021. It intended to consolidate the Plant Protection Act and the Tropical Pesticides Research Institute Act and put in place a consolidated legal framework for plant health and pesticides. This led to the establishment of the Tanzania Plant Health and Pesticides Authority which shall be the main regulatory body for plant health and pesticides. It introduced a legal framework to facilitate competition and efficiency in plants and plant products trade in Tanzania and internationally whilst safeguarding human health and the environment/ecosystem by ensuring sustainable and efficient management of pesticides.
