Pest Risk Analysis (PRA) for Grain and Seed of Beans, Phaseolus vulgaris L. within East African Countries (Kenya, Burundi, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda): A Qualitative, Pathway-Initiated Risk Analysis)

Abstract

This risk analysis was conducted by PRA specialists from five member countries of East African region namely, Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda and Kenya. South Sudan did not participate because at that time, it was not yet a member of EAC. The process involved comparing and harmonizing pest lists associated with beans from the five countries. The following draft documents were developed; harmonized regional potential quarantine lists for beans, regional PRA for Beans (Grain and seed,) and harmonized Phytosanitary import conditions for beans to be applied in the East African Region.
