| dc.description | This is features the project that won Thailand the Eduord Samouma Award in 2015. The success of the project has created a ripple effect, attracting the attention of regional research and development organizations such as the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) in Colombia and the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) in Thailand, as well as the public and private sectors. The Government of Viet Nam, for example, is now scaling up successful biological control efforts in all of i ts provinces affected by mealybug infestations, while Thailand's private sector has invested substantially in the mass rearing of biological control agents. The Government of China has issued various quarantine regulations aimed at preventing the spread of this invasive species. And recently, FAO and CIAT helped authorities in Indonesia, a country not covered by the project, import wasps from Thailand to deal with cassava mealybug incursions on the island of Java. | |
