The main goal of the Project is to enable Polish plant products to enter new markets and increase their competitiveness by effectively responding to the import requirements of new recipients and improving the controls carried out by the State Plant Health and Seed Inspection Service (PIORiN), using modern inspection methods, inspection of crops and research laboratory.

Project results recipients:

directly – PIORiN (GIORiN and sixteen voivodship inspectorates),

indirectly – economic entities: agricultural producers, distributors and exporters.

The FITOEXPORT project is implemented by a consortium consisting of:

1. The Chief Inspectorate of Plant Protection and Seed Production based in Warsaw

2. University of Warsaw

3. Institute of Aviation

4. Institute of Plant Breeding and Acclimatization – National Research Institute

5. Institute of Plant Protection – National Research Institute
