Fruit flies pose a dual threat to mango production by significantly impacting productivity and diminishing market value, thereby causing substantial economic losses in the fruit and vegetable sector across Africa (ANCAR, 2013; Tefera et al., 2018). The consequences of fruit fly infestations are particularly pronounced in Senegal, where estimates suggest losses amounting to 2 billion US dollars since 2005, with a staggering 60% to 100% reduction in mango production in various regions (ANCAR, 2011). Beyond direct production losses, fruit fly infestations wield indirect economic repercussions, including constraints on foreign exchange earnings from mango exports due to quarantine restrictions and missed opportunities in global markets (Muriithi et al., 2016; Badii et al., 2015; Ills and Peterson, 2016). Recognizing the magnitude of the damage inflicted by fruit flies on mango production and the consequential economic stakes, the research community has undertaken coordinated efforts to develop effective control technologies. These endeavors aim to fortify the capacities of stakeholders within the sector and enhance public awareness regarding the challenges and potential solutions associated with fruit fly infestations. This study critically examines the impact of fruit fly infestations on mango production in Senegal, shedding light on the economic losses incurred and the multifaceted consequences for the agricultural economy. By delving into existing control technologies and their efficacy, the research seeks to contribute valuable insights into mitigating the adverse effects of fruit fly infestations. The findings are expected to inform strategic interventions, policy frameworks, and public awareness campaigns aimed at bolstering mango production resilience in the face of persistent fruit fly threats
