Description

SOLE SOURCE



This item is a crucial part of the Mexican fruit fly artificial diet of the adult fly. There is currently no alternative diet ingredient for this product and without it available, this can cause a major work decrease in production and/or stoppage. It is mission essential because it is needed in the production of the Sterile Insect Technique - Mexican fruit fly to protect the citrus industry from wild incursions of Anastrepha ludens. The Mexican fruit fly, Anastrepha Ludens (Loew) is a destructive fruit fly that is native to Mexico and Central America but is not endemic to the United States. The Mexican fruit fly attacks more than 45 commercial varieties of fruits and vegetables as described in the revised federal host list. The United States Department of Agriculture is conducting an eradication program using sterilized Mexican fruit flies as a means of population control. Without such program the invasive fruit fly would flourish, decimate the citrus industry, and prohibit or restrict the movement of interstate commerce.

UrgencyProduct is needed as soon as possible to continue with the Sterile Insect Technique production of the Mexican fruit fly. At the current pricing of $4.56/lb that the vendor (Lallemand Bio-Ingredients USA, LLC) honors, the weekly need cost is about $10, 000 per week.
