FAO tracks locust spread in western Libya
The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) reported limited swarms of desert locusts in southwestern Libya during July. They called for enhanced surveying and monitoring efforts to track the situation's development. The surveillance activities revealed scattered small and mature insects, with no widespread congregations or outbreaks beyond designated areas. It is expected that the number of locusts will remain limited in the upcoming period. The organization emphasized the importance of increasing inspections in breeding areas to enable early intervention and protect crops from the risks posed by locust larvae and adults, especially in regions that offer suitable environmental conditions for breeding. Authorities continue to monitor locust activity closely in cooperation with international institutions, aiming to minimize the potential impact on the agricultural sector and ensure a swift response to any developments in their spread.
