The United States is one of the world's largest producers,
consumers, exporters, and importers of agricultural commodities.
However, some of these imported products may contain exotic pests
and diseases. According to the Department of Homeland Security
(DHS), invasive species cause an estimated $136 billion in lost
agricultural revenue annually. The terrorist attacks of September
11, 2001, heightened concerns about agriculture's vulnerability to
terrorism, including the deliberate introduction of livestock,
poultry, and crop diseases. Under the Agricultural Quarantine
Inspection (AQI) program, international passengers and cargo at
U.S. ports of entry are inspected to seize prohibited material and
intercept foreign agricultural pests. Historically, the USDA was
responsible for the AQI program, but the Homeland Security Act of
2002 split responsibility for the AQI program between DHS and the
USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services. This book
examines and presents select analyses of the background, scope and
success of the AQI, with a focus on management challenges and
inspection fees.
