The North American Plant Protection Organization (NAPPO) is the regional phytosanitary standard-setting organization for North America, established in 1976 under the International Plant Protection Convention. NAPPO facilitates collaboration among public and private sectors in Canada, the United States, and Mexico to protect plant resources and the environment while promoting safe trade through the development and implementation of science-based standards and plant protection activities.
NAPPO's primary focus is on preventing the introduction and spread of regulated plant pests through the creation of regional standards, discussion documents, protocols, and workshops. Recognized in the original NAFTA and the recently ratified USMCA, NAPPO plays a crucial role in ensuring the health and safety of North America's plant resources and facilitating trade in the region.
