African governments are rapidly modernizing their plant health systems through a broadened digital surveillance program, now encompassing 38 countries. This initiative builds upon successful training programs in 2023 and 2025, equipping plant health officials from across the continent with essential skills. The expansion aims to better contain crop threats and safeguard agricultural production. By leveraging digital technology, nations hope to improve early detection of pests and diseases, minimizing potential damage to harvests. This proactive approach is also designed to bolster exports by assuring international buyers of the quality and safety of African produce. Ultimately, the program contributes to enhanced food security and economic growth across the region.
