Honduras: FAIRS Country Report

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

The Honduran Government changed the name of the Sanitary Regulation Directorate (SRD) to the “General Directorate of Surveillance of the Health Normative Framework (DGVMN).” The National Plant and Animal Health Service (SENASA) modified its Quarantine Procedures Manual. The new Manual indicates that when a non-quarantine pest is found alive or dead, the quarantine treatment will
not be applied. The modification saves importers time and money that would have been used on the treatment.
