flag South Australia declared free of ToBRFV virus after 14 months, restoring trade and confidence.

flag South Australia has been declared free of the tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) after no new cases were detected since March 2025, following a 14-month outbreak that began in August 2024. flag The state issued an Area Freedom Certificate after over 200,000 tests and strict biosecurity measures, including quarantines and plant destruction. flag The virus, which harms tomato crops but is harmless to humans, had disrupted trade and caused financial losses. flag The declaration restores interstate market access for growers, supporting job recovery and industry confidence, while ongoing monitoring aims to prevent re-entry.
