So ACP is an acronym for a pest insect. Oh dear! Troubling.
Asian Citrus Psyllid (ACP) – is ‘dubbed the most destructive citrus pest first recorded in Samoa in 2014.’
Hopefully, who ever gave this pest the ACP name was not thinking about Samoa when doing so.
Samoa is an ACP member. It stands for Africa, Caribbean and Pacific countries – ACP.
This is a group of nations with struggling economies getting a lot of assistance from the EU – short for European Union or the rich countries of Europe.
The rich (EU) giving to the poor (ACP) is the worrying scenario in play here.
The worrying twist is in uttering the acronym at a wrong time or place.
Is it ACP the pest insect or ACP as in Africa, Caribbean and Pacific countries Samoa is a part of?
“…oh the horror of our beloved Samoa mistaken for an ACP pest insect to the EU.”
