The document discusses Pest Risk Analysis (PRA), which evaluates the potential risk posed by organisms identified as pests to determine necessary phytosanitary measures for agricultural exports. It outlines key stages of PRA including initiation, assessment, and management, and highlights the importance of documentation and transparency in the decision-making process. The evaluation considers pest identity, pathways for entry, potential impacts, and risk management based on the level of identified risk.

2. Pest risk analysis (PRA) is “the process of evaluating biological or other scientific
and economic evidence to determine whether an organism is a pest, whether it
should be regulated, and the strength of any phytosanitary measures to be taken
against it” (IPPC, 2012).
IDENTIFICATION OF PEST
PRACTICALLY
OVERALL PEST RISK
MANAGEMENT

3. The pest risk analysis is seen as a key to export any farm product to other countries.

4. The Pest Risk Analysis guidelines ISPM Nos. 2 and 11

5. PEST RISK ANALYSIS
 PEST RISK INITIATION
 PEST RISK ASSESSMENT
 PEST RISK MANAGEMENT

6. Initiation points
• PRA initiated by the identification of a pest
• PRA initiated by the identification of a
pathway
• PRA initiated by the review or revision of a
policy
Identification of PRA area
Information
• Previous PRA

7. Pathway identification
EXAMPLES OF PATHWAYS
Commodity identification

8. SHIPPING CONTAINERS WOOD PACKING CUSTOMS WAREHOUSE
WIND
EXAMPLES OF OTHER PATHWAYS

9. A pest is defined as “any species, strain or biotype of plant, animal or pathogenic
agent, injurious to plants or plant products” [FAO 1990; revised FAO, 1995; IPPC,
1997]
DEFINITION OF PEST

10. Performing a PRA for Thrips palmi, the possible pathways for the entry
of this pest could be
Cuttings of different ornamental plant species
Foliage and cut flowers
Clothing of international passengers
Tropical Food produce

conducted [FAO, 1995]

13. If during the initiation of a PRA
by a pathway no pest associated
with that way is detected
No assessment is carried out,
this decision is reported
CONCLUSION

14. whether a pest has or has not the characteristics of a quarantine pest
Pest identity
Scientific name : Tuta absoluta
Common name : tomato leaf miner
Family : Gelechidae
Order : lepidoptera
Class : Insecta
PEST RISK ASSESSMENT

15. Pest Presence or Absence in the PRA area
 in all parts of the area
 only in some areas (specify the
areas)except in specified pest free areas
(which should be identified)
 only in some areas where host crop (s)
are grown
 only in protected cultivation
 seasonally
Present
Absent
Informnation Sources on Pest Status in an Area

16. PEST REGULATORY STATUS

17. Establishment is the perpetuation, for the foreseeable future, of a pest in an area after its
entry [FAO, 1990; revised FAO, 1995; IPPC, 1997; formerly Established].
POTENTIAL FOR ESTABLISHMENT AND SPREAD

19. A potential harmful impact on plants, for
Example:
crops (e.g. loss of yield, or quality);
the environment, for example, damage to
ecosystems, habitats or species; or
some other specified value, e.g. recreation,
tourism, aesthetics.
POTENTIAL FOR ECONOMIC, ENIRONMENT AND SOCIAL CONSEQENCES

20. LEVEL OF RISK UN ACCEPTABLE

21. Conclusions of pest risk assessment
Risk acceptable?
Risk unacceptable? PRA continues
PEST RISK MANAGEMENT

22. Risk management measures should
be proportional to the risk
identified.

23. DOCUMENTATION
The IPPC and the principle of "transparency"
(ISPM No. 1: Principles of plant quarantine as
related to international trade) require that
countries should, on request, make available the
rationale for phytosanitary requirements. The
whole process from initiation to pest risk
management should be sufficiently documented
so that when a review or a dispute arises, the
sources of information and rationale used in
reaching the management decision can be clearly
demonstrated.

24. The main elements of documentation are:
• purpose for the PRA
• pest, pest list, pathways, PRA area, endangered area
• sources of information
• categorized pest list
conclusions of risk assessment
• probability
• consequences
risk management
• options identified
• options selected.
