MANAGING PEST & DISEASES POST TC YASA A PRIORITY
21/01/2021
Limiting the risk of an outbreak of pests and diseases on major agricultural commodities post Severe Tropical Cyclone Yasa is a major priority for the Ministry of Agriculture.
 
Four personnel from the Ministry’s Plant Protection Unit of the Research Division are currently in the affected areas of Vanua Levu, conducting a survey of the three provinces of Cakaudrove, Bua and Macuata as part of its initial assessment of pest and disease outbreak.
 
Chances of an outbreak or the new interception of pests, and diseases that occur following a natural disaster such as STC Yasa remain high and can have adverse effects on agricultural commodities.
