Kenya is a growing market for pesticides. According to the Agrochemical Association of Kenya (AAK), pesticide imports have more than doubled between 2015 and 2018. Sales data shows that 76 percent of the total volume of pesticides used in the country contain one or more active ingredients that are categorized as Highly Hazardous Pesticides (HHPs).
Against this background, the Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung, Nairobi Office is launching a special edition of the Pesticide Atlas “Kenya Edition”.
The atlas has been adapted from the original version published in Germany, to include facts and figures relevant to the situation in Kenya.
