All Of Florida Under Quarantine
The USDA amended the citrus canker regulations to list the entire state of Florida as a quarantined area for citrus canker and amended the requirements for the movement of regulated articles from Florida now that the eradication of citrus canker in Florida is no longer being carried out as an objective.
USDA also amended the regulations to allow regulated articles that would not otherwise be eligible for interstate movement to be moved to a port for immediate export. In this amendment, USDA states that, if citrus canker is found in any grove during the preharvest inspection or afterward, fruit from that grove will be ineligible to move interstate for the entire shipping season.
