“…Regarding A. siro, the method contains a high probability of entry. This entry potential was confirmed with its recent detection in Brazil (Barbosa et al, 2022). The economic impacts of A. siro are cited in stored grains of rice, corn, soybeans, wheat, and sorghum, in which it can reach 25% damage (Işikber et al, 2016;Clemmons and Taylor, 2016).…”

Introducing an Absent Quarantine Pest (AQP) can cause severe economic, social and environmental impacts, generating food insecurity. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method is an excellent tool for prioritizing APQs, allowing countries to better prepare against these threats. This study aimed to determine which AQPs should be prioritized in Brazil. For this, 20 AQPs were selected from the Brazilian official list. The selection was based on pests intercepted by Brazil between 2015 and 2018 and by countries of the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization, in the international movement of plants. It can be concluded that out of the 20 AQPs studied, 17 are the priority and that the AHP method is effective for this purpose. Other countries from different continents can use this methodology to prioritize PQAs and thus create strategic plans to prevent entry into their territories and economic, social, and environmental impacts.
