The research issues presented in the article focuses on the State Plant Health and Seed Inspection Service and its tasks. Its role of phytosanitary inspection is particularly emphasized. This institution is responsible for the control of plant products that are moving across borders and the issuing of phytosanitary certificates. In the deliberations, an attempt is made to verify the thesis that with the current material resources, the method of financing this institution and its complex organizational structure, it will be important to take actions aimed at increasing the effectiveness of its operation. In the context of the export of agricultural products, this can be done by simplifying the procedures for issuing phytosanitary certificates. Global forecasts speak of the growing role of trade in plant products, but also of the difficulties that may be imposed on it. Poland is a significant exporter of such products. To maintain this status, good cooperation between PIORiN – farmers, agricultural producers and exporters is essential. It may require the development of common procedures, the fulfillment of which by manufacturers would pay off with a simplified certification procedure, and PIORIN would allow focusing efforts on other tasks required by the regulations.
