Saveh, a city known for its diverse climate, produces approximately 650,000 tons of garden and agricultural products annually, with pomegranates being its main crop. However, the area faces threats from the Mediterranean fruit fly, a quarantine pest that can cause significant damage to over 300 plant species. This pest was initially introduced to Iran from East Africa around 15 years ago and poses a risk to not only pomegranates but also other crops. Its impact could extend to export activities, as countries often refuse shipments with affected produce. The article emphasizes the importance of prevention over treatment and highlights the potential economic implications if the pomegranate crop conflicts with this pest.
