USDA 5-Step Plan of Attack
1.) Stop the Pest from Spreading in Mexico and Ensure We Are Full Partners in Eradication USDA’s recent $21 million expenditure went toward renovating an existing fruit fly production facility in Metapa, Mexico, which will provide an additional 60-100 million sterile flies a week to stop the spread, on top of the over 100 million already produced in Panama. This will result in at least 160 million flies per week.
