Abstract
Fruit flies cause severe economic damage to many horticultural crops (fruits and vegetables). Their damage includes rotting, premature ripening and fruit drop, which leads to significant production losses, reduced income, increased poverty, reduced trade volumes of the products and bans or restrictions on exports of horticultural products from developing countries, etc. Fruits and vegetables are essential parts of a nutritious and balanced diet for humans, who are affected by the ongoing inflation of food costs and climatic conditions. Despite advances in pest management and control, fruit flies remain a problem. Therefore, a coordinated approach across the country and investment in post-harvest facilities are needed to reduce pest populations, increase trade and income, improve livelihoods in the horticultural sector and stabilize markets for sellers and consumers.
