12. APHIS Seeks Comments on Draft Pest Risk Assessment for
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) Rhizomes from Peru for
Consumption into the United States.
USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service sent this bulletin at 06/17/2020 10:20
AM EDT
The government of Peru has asked USDA's Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service (APHIS) to authorize importation of turmeric (Curcuma
longa) rhizomes for consumption into the United States. APHIS has drafted
a pest risk assessment that describes potential pests associated with the
commodity.
APHIS shares draft pest risk assessments to determine whether
stakeholders have information that might lead us to revise the draft
assessment before we identify pest mitigations and proceed with the
commodity import approval process.
The draft pest risk assessment for turmeric rhizomes for consumption from
Peru will be available for review and comment until July 29, 2020. To
view the assessment or submit comments, go to

Executive Summary The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of the United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA) prepared this document to assess pest risks associated with
importing commercially produced rhizomes of turmeric, Curcuma longa (Zingiberaceae), for
consumption from Peru into the United States. Based on the market access request submitted by
Peru, we considered the pathway to include the standard post-harvest processes of culling and
washing. The pest risk ratings depend upon the application of all conditions of the pathway as
described. Turmeric rhizomes produced under different conditions were not evaluated and may
have a different pest risk. Using scientific literature, port-of-entry pest interception data, and
information from the government of Peru, we developed a list of pests with quarantine
significance for the United States that occur in Peru (on any host) and are associated with
turmeric (anywhere in the world). We found no organisms that meet the threshold for
unacceptable consequences of introduction and are potentially able to follow the pathway. Detailed
examination and choice of appropriate phytosanitary measures to mitigate pest risk are addressed
separately from this document
