EFSA was asked for a partial risk assessment of Spodoptera frugiperda for the territory of the EU
focussing on the main pathways for entry, factors affecting establishment, risk reduction options and pest
management. As a polyphagous pest, five commodity pathways were examined in detail. Aggregating
across these and other pathways, we estimate that tens of thousands to over a million individual larvae
could enter the EU annually on host commodities. Instigating risk reduction options on sweetcorn, a
principal host, reduces entry on that pathway 100-fold. However, sweetcorn imports are a small
proportion of all S. frugiperda host imports, several of which are already regulated and further regulation
is estimated to reduce the median number entering over all pathways by approximately 10%. Low
temperatures limit the area for establishment but small areas of Spain, Italy and Greece can provide
climatic conditions suitable for establishment. If infested imported commodities are distributed across the
EU in proportion to consumer population, a few hundreds to a few thousands of individuals would reach
NUTS 2 regions within which suitable conditions for establishment exist. Although S. frugiperda is a
known migrant, entry directly into the EU from extant populations in sub-Saharan Africa is judged not
feasible. However, if S. frugiperda were to establish in North Africa, in the range of thousands to over two
million adults could seasonally migrate into the southern EU. Entry into suitable NUTS2 areas via
migration will be greater than via commercial trade but is contingent on the establishment of
S. frugiperda in North Africa. The likelihood of entry of the pest via natural dispersal could only be
mitigated via control of the pest in Africa. If S. frugiperda were to arrive and become a pest of maize in
the EU, Integrated Pest Management (IPM) or broad spectrum insecticides currently used against
existing pests could be applied.
