| Resource Title | Advancing stored product pest management in the Philippines: a strategic foresight |
| Date Issued | 4 July 2023 |
| Abstract | Stored product pests (SPP) are known to be the most expensive pests due to the enormous damage and losses it brings to the food sector. In the Philippines, over the years, various pesticides, pheromone trapping systems, and fumigation have been the most common technologies used to control SPPs, particularly moths, beetles, and weevils. The need for new technological advancements in stored product protection locally has created significant challenges for food businesses and pest management professionals (PMPs). This study aims to apply the concept of technology foresight for SPP management technologies through a ten-stage scenario-building framework with the participation of industry stakeholders through a series of discussions. The robust regulatory policies and the emergence of new technologies, mainly influenced by political and technological factors, were the fundamental driving forces to shape the future of SPP management. Four (4) scenarios were developed and assessed as the basis for strategic decision-making for the pest management industry: The Industry Buzz, Technology Ecdysis, Nylanderic Movement, and Technology Fission. An industry analysis using Porter’s Five Forces was done to assess the implication of each scenario. The study emphasized talent recruitment, policies, and technology exploitation as fundamental elements of the industry's technological advancements. |
