APHIS has drafted a pest risk assessment for the importation of fresh Hass avocado (Persea americana) for consumption from Kenya into the United States. The assessment describes potential pests associated with the commodity.
APHIS shares draft pest risk assessments to determine whether stakeholders have information that might lead us to revise the draft assessment before we identify pest mitigations and proceed with the commodity import approval process.
The draft pest risk assessment for fresh Hass Avocado for consumption from Kenya will be available for review and comment until June 29, 2023. To view the assessment or submit comments, go to https://www.aphis.usda.gov/plant-health/risk-assessment-consultation
