While the locust campaign is approaching the end, the situation was still classified as caution for Moroccan (DMA), Italian (CIT) and Asian Migratory Locusts (LMI) in the Russian Federation, for LMI in Kazakhstan and CIT in Kyrgyzstan. It was calm in other countries and for other species. Control operations covered an area of 89 536 hectares (ha) in Caucasus and Central Asia (CCA) in August. Overall, 2.68 million ha were treated during 2023 campaign. This represents an increase of 38% with respect to 2022 (1.94 million ha treated), which concerns Central Asia, but not Caucasus and the Russian Federation. Overall, the treated areas in CCA in 2023 remain lower than the average annual figures for the past 15 years (average 3.7 million ha). During the forecast period, CIT and LMI natural life cycles will come to an end.
