Description

The red palm weevil (RPW, or Rhynchophorus ferrugineus) is a major transboundary pest that originated in South Asia and is rapidly spreading around the world. In the Near East and North Africa (NENA) region, the weevil is causing devastating damage to date palms, affecting production, the environment and the livelihoods of nearly 50 million farmers. Despite an urgent call for action to address the RPW, it continues to spread rapidly throughout the NENA region. The main challenges to effective and sustainable management of the RPW are the complexity of detecting infection at an early stage and weak plant quarantine regulations. These issues are compounded by inadequate regional collaboration and limited awareness among farmers.
