The close proximity of Caribbean territories coupled with historic informal trade relationships, place every country at the risk of introduction and further re-introduction of the Hibiscus Mealybug as long as the insect is present in any one country. Containment, eradication and management activities along with environment and socio-economic issues therefore need to be addressed beyond national programmes. A regional action programme for control of this pest has been developed and the government of Trinidad and Tobago is committed to its support and execution.
