APHIS Approves the Importation of Ugu Leaves from Nigeria
into the United States
Published: Feb 26, 2024

The U.S. Department of Agriculture¡¯s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is
authorizing the importation of fresh Ugu leaves (Telfairia occidentalis) from Nigeria into the
continental United States.
A thorough pest risk analysis and careful research by APHIS has determined that fresh Ugu
leaves can be safely imported from Nigeria. Applying one or more designated phytosanitary
measures will sufficiently mitigate the risks of introducing or spreading plant pests or noxious
weeds via the importation of fresh Ugu leaves from Nigeria. Imports may be authorized effect
on February 26, the date of publication in the Federal Register.
USDA touches the lives of all Americans each day in so many positive ways. In the
Biden-Harris Administration, USDA is transforming America¡¯s food system with a greater focus
on more resilient local and regional food production, fairer markets for all producers, ensuring
access to safe, healthy and nutritious food in all communities, building new markets and
streams of income for farmers and producers using climate smart food and forestry practices,
making historic investments in infrastructure and clean energy capabilities in rural America,
and committing to equity across the Department by removing systemic barriers and building a
workforce more representative of America. To learn more, visit www.usda.gov.
Background
Under the regulations in ¡°Subpart L?Fruits and Vegetables¡± (7 CFR 319.56?1 through 319.56?12,
referred to below as the regulations), the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS)
prohibits or restricts the importation of fruits and vegetables into the United States from certain
parts of the world to prevent plant pests from being introduced into or disseminated within the
United States.
Section 319.56?4 contains a performance-based process for approving the importation of fruits
and vegetables that, based on the findings of a pest risk analysis, can be safely imported subject
to one or more of the five designated phytosanitary measures listed in paragraph (b) of that
section.
APHIS received a request from the national plant protection organization of Nigeria to allow
importation of fresh Ugu leaves ( Telfairia occidentalis Hook.f) from Nigeria into the continental
United States. As part of our evaluation of Nigeria's request, we have prepared a pest risk
assessment (PRA) to identify the pests of quarantine significance that could follow the pathway of
the importation of fresh Ugu leaves from Nigeria into the continental United States. Based on the
PRA, a risk management document (RMD) was prepared to identify phytosanitary measures that
could be applied to the fresh Ugu leaves to mitigate the pest risk.
