Abstract CABI is a not-for-profit international organization with the mission of improving people’s lives worldwide by solving problems in agriculture and environment, while engendering trust facilitating science. As an organisation both provider user biological control agents regularly acting as intermediary between countries. way building sides, access benefit sharing (ABS) policy ABS best practices developed around principles Nagoya protocol should be publicly accessible. aims to facilitate compliance national legislation on through its for countries which we work those that provide genetic resources. adopted position share benefits whether country party Protocol or not. We use case study coffee berry borer ( Hypothenemus hampei (Ferrari)) illustrate implementation overlap ABS. In respect Digital Sequence Information (DSI) associated resources contributes ongoing global debate evaluates how this may impact biocontrol research delivery. The current view publishing sequence data descriptive information thus delivers benefit-sharing from generation. However, if DSI used product placed market, there justification sharing.
