Data for biosecurity and emergency management: AgriBase requests

Having the right property data and contact information is crucial for biosecurity and emergency response preparedness. KVH invests significant efforts to ensure we have up-to-date data which includes grower details in a CRM system, orchard maps with GPS-it, and traceability tools with Onside.

We also ensure we have current records for those who move plant material across our industry pathway such as plant nurseries, budwood suppliers, pollen mills and post-harvest operators.

We are aware that AsureQuality (AQ) also has a database called AgriBase – a primary source of data in the event of a biosecurity incursion or for emergency management, covering the entire primary sector.

AgriBase has existed for about 30 years and together with the Ministry for Primary Industries, AQ is working with various industries to improve the accuracy of data stored within the database, to facilitate a response to various threats.

Some growers may have recently received a request from AQ to update their contact details and support the development of a primary sector model. This is a voluntary initiative that growers may choose to take part in.

Regardless, if there is a biosecurity response or natural disaster, KVH will work with lead agencies and utilise our data to ensure our growers are well supported.
