Invasive insects cost the global economy around USD 70 billion annually, with increasing agricultural pests raising concerns about food security.

This review discusses the current status of RNAi for agricultural pest control, focusing on dsRNA design, delivery methods, and regulatory considerations. Despite challenges in delivery and stability, RNAi shows potential for sustainable pest management, with ongoing research and industry efforts aimed at developing effective dsRNA-based biopesticides.
