Supporting countries to introduce ePhytos

We are collaborating with the International Plant Protection Convention to support countries to digitise trade in plant and plant products by introducing electronic phytosanitary certificates, or ePhytos. Find out how governments can access support, and how to get involved as a business.

What we do

We are on a mission to make international trade simple, fast and cost-effective, creating new business opportunities, enabling greater economic and social development and reducing poverty.

The Alliance brings together governments and businesses as equal partners to address delays and unnecessary red-tape at borders and design and deploy targeted reforms that deliver commercially quantifiable results.

Our work helps governments in developing and least developed countries implement the World Trade Organization’s Trade Facilitation Agreement.
