Release of the draft pest risk analysis for khapra beetle (Trogoderma granarium) – Part 1.

The Australian Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry has released the draft pest risk analysis (PRA) for khapra beetle (Trogoderma granarium) – Part 1 for public consultation. The consultation is open for 92-calendar days and will close on 27 February 2026.

We invite trading partners to submit feedback via our Have Your Say webpage. We will consider all comments received during the consultation period in preparing a final PRA report.

As outlined in G/SPS/N/AUS/502/Add.22, we are delivering the PRA in 2 parts:

• Part 1 focuses on the plant product pathway

• Part 2, addressing the sea container pathway, will be released separately. We initiated this PRA to:

• assess the risk of khapra beetle

• evaluate the effectiveness of the current emergency measures

• recommend ongoing measures to achieve Australia's appropriate level of protection (ALOP).

  The draft report and supporting information are available on our website.
  We will also host two online information sessions to present an overview of the report and answer

  questions. To attend, please register through Humanitix by selecting the "Register" button.

  Comment period: 27 November 2025 – 27 February 2026.
