Brazilian agriculture officials visited Fundecitrus to discuss the first steps in implementing the National Greening Prevention and Control Program, which will be carried out by the states.
"The disease is undoubtedly the biggest problem facing our citrus industry," Hilman said.
"With the national program, we address not only upcoming actions but also all the work that needs to be initiated, especially in São Paulo, where the national citrus industry is concentrated.
The August meeting included citrus nursery producers, who raised the need for expanded discussions on federal legislation regarding citrus canker.
