Procurement of Dyna-Fogs sprayers for the BMSB (Georgia):  Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB) is an invasive pest that has caused millions of dollars in damage to Georgia's agriculture sector. It was first identified in Georgia in 2015, at which time BMSB populations were at low levels and did not cause noticeable economic damage to crops. Due to ideal breeding conditions, the BMSB populations in western Georgia dramatically increased between 2015 and 2017 and inflicted significant damage to Georgia's hazelnuts; an important export commodity for Georgia's smallholder farmers. If not contained, the BMSB has the potential to set Georgia back years in its agriculture growth and development. Because of this threat, USAID/Georgia will provide support to the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) of Georgia in implementing its Action Plan to combat BMSB infestation.Using FY2017 resources, USAID/Georgia will procure dyna-fogs sprayers for the National Food Agency (NFA) of the MoA to support NFA's efforts in responding to the infestation of the BMSB.
