The analysis is based on data obtained mainly from EM-DAT, WDI, and FAOSTAT. Even though the frequency of insect infestations has declined in recent years, they continue to cause considerable damage. As a large majority of these infestations is confined to Low Income/ Sub-Saharan African countries, with low or stagnating agricultural productivity, their potential for damage remains high. A detailed investigation of various options in pest control and their costeffectiveness is necessary to enhance productivity in many of the poorest countries.
