The Eggplant fruit and shoot borer (EFSB), Leucinodes orbonalis, is the most damaging pest of eggplant in South and South-east Asia. Its larvae feed inside the eggplant fruit rendering the fruit unmarketable and unfit for human consumption. In certain cases EFSB infestation can lead to total yield loss.The presence of EFSB here in Seychelles was first reported in 2008 by local farmers on Praslin.  To date, the origin of the pest and its infestation is still unknown. The pest spreaded to the neighboring islands of La Digue in 2009 and was first detected on Mahe in June 2011. Since its first detection and confirmation of EFSB infestations on Praslin, various sections of the Seychelles Agricultural Agency (SAA) has been actively involved in order to help farmers control the pest to ensure the continuous production of eggplant in the country.
