Quick Facts:

• It is difficult to imagine humanity without food products, production of which is the second most profitable after commodity business. However, a third of all crop production in the world is lost due to plant diseases, pests and weeds. It causes great losses, and without plant protection, production of many crops is not possible at all. In addition, the demand of the modern consumer market for ecological food puts forward another task — the search for non-chemical plant protection products, which is a profitable business today. 
• The globalization of world trade is impossible without a plant quarantine service that issues permits for import and export of crop products, as there is a constant danger of importing new types of pathogens, poor-quality food products that are dangerous to health. All these are components of the profession of an international-level specialist in plant protection.
