"#SouthSudan is [a] #ClimateChange hotspot. A significant concern is the increasing emergence and incidence of crop pests that threaten the plant health and livelihoods of approximately 86% of rural households which depend on agriculture.

Common pests include elegant grasshoppers, bollworms, cassava whiteflies, cutworms, African armyworms, stalk borers, and aphids.

The fall armyworm is one of the invasive pests in South Sudan associated with climate change."
