The Ethiopian Horticulture Producer Exporters Association (EHPEA) has initiated a comprehensive training program to equip EAA inspectors with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively manage the False Codling Moth (FCM).

FCM poses a significant threat to Ethiopia’s horticulture industry, particularly with the implementation of new EU regulations. This training adopts a systems approach to address the complex challenges associated with FCM, emphasizing the importance of collaboration and joint efforts.

The training covers in-depth information on FCM biology, identification, and management strategies. Practical field visits are an integral part of the program, providing participants with hands-on experience.

EHPEA is committed to supporting the horticulture sector in overcoming challenges like FCM and ensuring the continued growth and success of the industry.
