The 2022 Latin America and the Caribbean Regional Priority Setting Workshop was held September 26, 2022 with an overall goal to develop a list of top pest management priorities for the LAC region. Workshop participants provided critical input to help make decisions on the top priorities to progress in in the region.

LAC Fruit and Nut Priorities
LAC Agronomic, Vegetable and Herb Priorities
Background
Prior to the Workshop, participants went through a process of nominating priorities of interest from a list of more than 3,500 crop/pest combinations and submitted new priorities to develop a targeted list for further refinement. Participants then submitted their top five priorities based on the targeted list. The Minor Use Foundation tallied scores based on how priorities were ranked and the number of countries ranking the crop/pest combination to present a preliminary ranking for Workshop participants to discuss.
During the Workshop participants systematically progressed through the ranked priorities and provided critical input to further refine the crop/pest combinations and identify top priorities for the region.
After the Workshop, the Foundation conducted follow up data collection and analysis to further understand company support, cooperators and capacity prior to announcing the results of the Workshop. As additional information becomes available, the list of priorities may be adjusted.
If you missed the workshop, recordings and presentations are available in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
You can also view the ranking worksheets with comments captured during the Workshop sessions.
