Oriental Fruit Fly Program

Program Information

Popular name

OFF

Program Number

10.134

Program objective

The purpose of the Oriental Fruit Fly Program is to provide direct payments to eligible agriculture producers in Miami-Dade County who suffered a revenue loss in 2015 and/or 2016 due to a State of Florida and APHIS implemented quarantine, because there was an outbreak of Oriental Fruit Flies that damaged fruits and vegetables in Miami-Dade County. The quarantine, which lasted from August 28, 2015, through February 13, 2016, was necessary and successful in eradicating the Oriental Fruit Fly. Because the Non-Insured Crop Assistance Program (NAP) does not apply in instances of a state or federally declared quarantine and RMA does not offer a quarantine endorsement in Florida, the affected producers in Miami-Dade County needed relief.

    In 2024, $1,919 in Direct Payments were issued as a result of a correction to an application. There were no payments issued in FY2023 and we don’t anticipate any in FY2025 because payments for all approved OFF application were issued in FY2022 after the close of the OFF application period.
