Ignorant travellers pose billion-dollar risk to WA economy, quarantine officers say
Quarantine officials are warning that inexperienced travellers are putting Western Australia’s $8 billion agriculture industry at risk with tonnes of potentially destructive organic produce being seized at borders, and more detected every year.
WA’s Department of Primary Industries stopped almost 20 tonnes of contraband produce in 2018, some of which contained serious pests.
