The need for CariPestNet

Plant pests are always present, damaging crops grown for home consumption, domestic markets or for export.  Alien invasive species can spread from country to country and adversely affect agricultural production and biodiversity.  If farmers and pest control operators are to manage the pest problems that they encounter, they need prompt access to specialist information and advice.  This is provided free of charge through CariPestNet from resource personnel world-wide.
