1988
Ambrose, E. (Inter-American Institute for Co-operation in Agriculture, Castries (St Lucia))
This paper reports on the activities of the survey which was carried out in Grenada and St. Vincent and Grenadines. The methodology used was discussed, as well as the mechanisms put in place to continuously monitor and evaluate the situation. The results were that no fruit flies of economic importance, were found in the two islands and that the USDA had certified them as being fruit fly free. Also weevils were not found in mango seeds so that shipment of mangoes to Trinidad and Tobago could be resumed. The USDA has asked the islands to submit a list of fruits that they want to export.
