About the service

WHAT IS FUMIGATION

  • Fumigation is a treatment with a chemical agent that reaches the commodity wholly or primarily in a gaseous state (ISPM No. 5 Glossary of phytosanitary terms, FAO, 1990; revised FAO, 1995)
  • A Fumigant is a chemical which, at a required temperature and pressure, can exist in the gaseous state in sufficient concentration to be lethal to a given pest organism. (FAO Manual of fumigation for insect control, 2007)

WHY DO WE FUMIGATE?

WTO -  Sanitary and Phytosanitary Agreement (SPS)

  • Countries require the compliance of imported agricultural products with their national sanitary and phytosanitary regulations.
  • The primary aim of these regulations is to protect human, animal or plant life or health from pests and diseases that may be brought in by imported agricultural products.

IPPC  - the International Plant Protection Convention

  • International cooperation in controlling pests of plants and plant products and in preventing their international spread, and especially their introduction into endangered areas.

 Apart from Regulatory / Statutory , COMMERCIALLY  to ensure :

  • Safety of the cargo – Damage / rotten would mean claims /discounts
  • The buyer also wants to receive clean cargo
  • Related costs

WHY ONLY FUMIGATION?

  • Is often the quickest way of controlling an infestation
  • Can reach where Sprays, Dusts, Aerosols can not reach, such as deep into stack, ship hold etc. Highly penetrating.
  • Fumigants being inert generally do not alter the property or structure of the fumigated item.

Fumigation is the preferred & acceptable way of treating cargoes that are  being shipped in large quantities from one country to other, as these  cargoes are prone to get infested during long voyages.

What is In-Transit Fumigation

In-Transit Fumigation was born out of the need to protect grain cargoes being shipped over long distances gro insect damage leading to losses. Over time With increasing demands throughout the world for improved standards of foods afety the requirement to deliver food free of infestation has also increased. However the extent of the demands have also increased, and now the requirement is not onl yfor freedom from infestation, but also for zero or very low residues, no health risks,and no increase in costs. Further Bio Security also became a very big concern as no country wanted any pests / insects not native to their shores, as they could severely damage their flaura, fauna and crops. For example Khapra Beetle - It’s discovery in California in 1953 led to a massive control and eradication effort which extended until 1966 and cost the government $15 million (Kerr 1981), which in today's value would be about $ 150 million
