Emergency purchase of product needed in the emergency response that aims to curtail the ongoing expansion of the invasive Mexican Fruit Fly (Anastrepha ludens) in quarantined areas in the State of Texas.
Invasive fruit flies are among the world's most devastating pests of fruits and vegetables. The Mexican fruit fly (Anastrepha ludens or Mexfly) is a serious agricultural pest. It can infest more than 50 types of fruits and vegetables, particularly citrus and mango. The damage makes crops inedible and unmarketable, with significant economical loses. Many U.S. agricultural commodities are susceptible to the attack of this fruit fly, and thus, we put all efforts to eradicate newly detected incursions as soon as possible to stop the spread and ensure that this pest doesn-t become established in the United States.

Until eradication is completed, Mexfly will continue to pose a serious threat for the Texas citrus industry and to many other valuable U.S. crops, jeopardizing the export of such commodities.
Per codified regulations in Title 7 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 301.32-3(a) (c), an area of the State of Texas is under a designated quarantine for the Mexican Fruit Fly (Anastrepha ludens).
