📢 You are invited to the next edition of the FARM Knowledge Series, discussing a topic that has the potential to undermine regulatory systems, legitimate markets, and efforts to promote safer and more sustainable pest management. 

This webinar hosted under under the FARM Knowledge Series brings together national regulators, customs authorities, industry representatives, and international organizations to examine practical experiences in combating illegal and counterfeit pesticides. It will explore enforcement approaches, cross-border cooperation, industry collaboration, and multilateral tools that can strengthen national systems.

Illegal and counterfeit pesticides are a serious problem in many countries. These products may be smuggled, fake, unregistered, or falsely labelled. They often bypass safety checks and quality controls. As a result, they can harm farmers’ health, damage crops, contaminate soil and water, and reduce trust.

This session will address how: 

• National challenges countries face in combating illegal and counterfeit pesticides.

• The role of cross-border cooperation and customs enforcement in reducing illegal trade. 

• How industry and regulators can work together to protect supply chains

• The place of international frameworks in supporting national enforcement efforts.

 • Practical steps to strengthen the monitoring and management of illegal pesticides.
