A critical goal of the Caribbean Plant Health Director Forum is to increase communication and the transparent exchange of sanitary information among Caribbean Countries.

The Forum envisions itself as becoming the Region’s Plant Protection Organization and at the Fifth Meeting of the CPHD Forum at Scrub Island Hotel, BVI in 2012, the forum took steps to formalize it position in the Regions’ agricultural sector which involved the election an executive to include a Chair, Co Chair and Technical Secretary to better support the activities and needs of the CPHD.
