dc.description.abstractEAC Partner States are progressively intensifying their agriculture to meet the regional demands for food and exports. To sustainably achieve this, the Partner States foresee a need for increased use of safer pesticide products. However, varied and inadequate regulatory regimes remain an impediment. Excessive use of conventional pesticides under the current regulatory regimes shall undoubtedly degrade the environment, reduce productivity and cause adverse effects on health of consumers accessing those commodities. Because of the above, there is need for development, at regional level, of efficient, competitive and sustainable agricultural sector that requires strict standards on the use of pesticides. Attention now is on the use of safer pest control alternatives especially Bio-pesticide and bio control agents. Bio-pesticides are generally less toxic to humans and have less impact on the environment. Similarly, biocontrol agents are an important tool in Integrated Pest Management system. However, their registration system is still a challenge among Partner States. There is no specific legislation governing their registration. Where they exist, data requirement is insufficient. A technical working group meeting held in Arusha in March 2019 saw a need for development of regionally harmonized guidelines for registration of Biopesticides and bio control agents. The availability of the harmonized guidelines will facilitate trade by significantly simplifying data requirements among Partner States and ensure mutual recognition of work done within the region.
