Abstract
The PRA was initiated by the need to review the national pest lists and develop strategies for reducing Phytosanitary trade barriers in the East African region as well as develop a harmonized regional pest list for rice with a view to developing phytosanitary import conditions for rice that will be applied within the EAC. The objectives of the Regional Pest Risk Analysis were to review national pest lists for rice; develop a harmonized regional pest list, develop a draft regional Pest Risk Analysis (PRA), develop National Quarantine Pest List; and develop Phytosanitary import conditions for rice to be applied within the EAC.
This risk assessment was prepared in 2014 by PRA specialists from five EAC partner states namely, Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda and Kenya (South Sudan did not participate because at that time, it was not yet a member of EAC). It involved comparing and harmonizing pest lists associated with rice from the five countries. This document includes; harmonized regional potential quarantine lists for rice; regional PRA for processed, unprocessed and seed rice and harmonized Phytosanitary import conditions for rice to be applied in the Eastern African Region.
