The government is calling for urgent global action against harmful agricultural chemicals, warning that pesticides banned in some countries should not find their way into markets in developing nations.
Speaking during the opening of the three-day World Farmers Organisation’s Annual Meeting in Nairobi, Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe said unsafe chemicals pose serious risks to farmers, consumers and the environment.
He also highlighted Kenya’s digital farmer registry, saying it is helping improve targeted subsidies, traceability, and the delivery of services to farmers across the country.
