slide62. DAFF Actions on FAW FAW is a regulated pest in terms of the Agricultural Pests Act, 1983 (Act No. 36 of 1983) (APA) and Regulation 449 of the APA
Registered over 40 agricultural remedies which can be applied against FAW
Created a reporting platform for all role players to participate, namely the Fall Army Worm Steering Committee which convenes monthly
Encourages monthly reporting from all role players especially Provincial departments of Agriculture in a joint project with the FAO to gather regional information regarding the pest
Conducting national surveillance through the DAFF inspectorate to gather information regarding the spread of adult FAW
Created a FAW model as part of the SADC chair legacy projects to coordinate and harmonise actions and research regarding FAW
Funded 5 FAW research project with the Agricultural Research Council 62<br>
slide63. FAW Occurrences/Detections in South Africa - 2018 Gauteng, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, KwaZulu-Natal:
No new reports since April; note: from April to Sept., no maize production in most areas
The new maize production season starts at the earliest in October 2018
No new report of outbreaks received in October 2018
Other Provinces:
Only trap catches (i.e. moths, no caterpillars) in the Free State and Northern Cape
New trap catches in Western Cape in May and June 2018; no damage on winter wheat
New reports of trap catches near Vredendal in August

Thus far:
FAW has been recorded in all provinces in South Africa
No FAW records in the winter months from higher-lying areas; some in KZN and Limpopo 63<br>
slide64. 64<br>
slide65. Estimated impact of FAW - 2018 (hectares reported) Gauteng :
City of Tshwane, Ekurhuleni, West Rand- 394 ha
Limpopo:
District Municipality: Capricorn, Sekhukhune, Waterberg, Vhembe and Musina- 10 172 ha
KwaZulu-Natal:
District Municipality: uThukela, uMkhanyakude, uMgungundlovu- 219.1 ha
Eastern Cape:
District Municipality: Buffalo City Metro Municipality- 14 ha
Mpumalanga:
District Municipality: Ekangala, Ehlanzeni, Gert Sibande - 634 ha 65<br>
slide66. Estimated impact of FAW 2018 …. Most maize produced in South Africa are from the higher altitude areas in Mpumalanga, North West, Gauteng, Free State and Kwazulu Natal and were the least affected during 2017/18
Most reports and therefore probable damage from Limpopo Province
Cost to control an estimated 11000ha would be approximately R6 million for one chemical application
DAFF/ARC proposed research projects of R1.5m
South Africa delivered approx. 11 m tons of maize during the 2018/19 marketing season, and over approx. 15 m tons in the previous season
The main reason for lower production was less planting due to lower prices 66<br>
slide67. Implications of FAW on Exports from SA The EU has published emergency import measures, which means that SA now has to comply with specific phytosanitary measures for the following fruits:
Capsicum (Peppers and Chillies)
Momordica (Gourds)
Solanum aethiopicum (Ethiopian eggplant)
Solanum macrocarpon (African eggplant)
Solanum melongena (Eggplant)….

and also for maize (Zea mays), but only plants, not seeds and grains, or live pollen and plant tissue cultures. 67<br>
slide68. Bactrocera dorsalis (Oriental Fruitfly) 68 Photo JH Venter<br>
slide69. DAFF Actions on Bactrocera dorsalis The pest is established in the all the provinces except the Western, Eastern, Northern Cape and Free State province and some districts in KZN.
The OFF is a regulated pest in terms of the Agricultural Pests Act 1983 (Act No. 36 of 1983) (APA) and Regulation 110 the Control measures
The removal of fruit from infested areas to non infested areas is restricted and compliance of phytosanitary measures is required to receive a removal permit
A Steering Committee was established with all role players and convenes via teleconference meetings and via email
A national surveillance network for the early detection of exotic fruit flies feeds information regarding this pest as the only exotic detected to the DAFF and Steering Committee.
This pest can be eradicated in a new area if detected early. 69<br>
slide70. Bactrocera dorsalis (Oriental Fruitfly/ OFF) Some previously Pest Free Areas have been compromised:

1. Western Cape
Three flies detected in Grabouw between 31 January and 28 February 2018
Eradication declared successful by 10 May 2018
USA suspended trade of apples and pears from the quarantine area and packing houses in the area until OFF eradication or a post harvest treatment is agreed upon.

Two flies detected in Devon Valley near Stellenbosch, in March and April 2018
Eradication was successful by July 2018, before citrus was exported from the area 70<br>
slide71. Bactrocera dorsalis (Oriental Fruitfly/ OFF)…. 2. Northern Cape
OFF specimens were last detected along the Orange River in in July 2018, but last in May 2018 from the citrus and table grape production areas
Due to large numbers of OFF detected until June 2018, eradication is not yet finalised
Preparedness plans were increased for possible detections during 2018/’19 table grape season

3. Free State
Due to sub-zero temperatures in the Bethlehem area, no more OFF specimens were detected since June 2018 71<br>
slide72. Estimated impact of Bactrocera dorsalis Market loss of export apple and pears to the USA market– R14 m
80% of export pome is produced in the Western Cape. The USA market is less than 3% of the total pome export market
The USA temporary closed the export market for apples and pears from the Grabouw area after 2 OFF specimens were detected in 2018
Export value of the fruit industry is over R43b
All our export fruit is a host of this pest
This pest causes 80 to 100% production losses if not controlled
Cost of control is R1.5m per outbreak 72<br>
slide73. 73<br>
slide74. FMD Two outbreaks were detected in 2018 in the Limpopo Province
Near the Punda Maria gate of the Kruger National Park in May.
In the Giyani area

The strain in both outbreaks has been identified as a SAT 2 strain

The RSA free status is not affected as it is in the FMD protection zone

Control measures:
Movement restrictions
Clinical surveillance
Vaccination 74<br>
slide75. Impact of FMD The impact can manifest in a number of ways:
Loss in production: can range between R360 million and R1.1 billion*

Market access: estimated at R 4 billion based on the 2010 export figures*
Live animals and game, beef, lamb, pork, wool, hides & skins, dairy products

Consumer confidence

Job losses

*according to the National Agricultural Marketing Council report titled economic impact of a foot and mouth disease outbreak dated April 2011 75<br>
slide76. H5N8 Avian Influenza At 2 November 2018, hundred and ninety four (n=194) outbreaks were recorded in total
A total of eighty five (n=85) outbreaks were resolved by at 2 November 2018
Most of the outbreaks, namely forty one (n=41) percent occurred in wild birds. Wild bird outbreaks were mostly detected in wild shorebirds along the Western and Eastern Cape Provinces coastline
Twenty five percent of the outbreaks were recorded (n=25) in ostriches
Seventeen (n=17) percent of the outbreaks were detected in commercial chickens
Only five (n=5) percent of outbreaks occurred in backyard poultry and twelve (n=12) percent kept as a hobby and backyard poultry 76<br>
slide77. 77<br>
slide78. 78<br>
slide79. Listeria Though this was not an outbreak in Animals there was a significant impact in the
pork industry with severe drop in demand and prices. 79<br>
slide80. Brucellosis The control of Brucellosis has been identified as a Veterinary
Strategy deliverable, with strong collaboration with the Animal
Health Forum

The strategy has a slogan V.E.T
Vaccinate
Educate
Test

The Department working on the Brucella Control Policy; the draft will go out for public comments in the new calendar year 80<br>
slide81. Awareness activities relating to SPS Measures DAFF continues to raise awareness through various channels such as:
Radio
Media statements
Facebook
WhatsApp
Departmental outreach events (Izimbizo, World Food day, SADC Chair Activities etc.)
Study groups, farmers days/ information days, workshops, exhibitions, symposiums, meetings, etc.
DAFF webpage
