Post-Product Registration Surveillance
The norm at present is that once a product has been registered by the Pest Control Products Board of Kenya, it cannot be withdrawn. While this state of affairs rightfully protects the interests of products manufacturers, it can sometimes be to the disadvantage of farmers in the case of rogue manufacturers or unscrupulous traders who tamper with the efficacy of their products.
However, as Green Earth Trust we advise our members accordingly on which products to use and which to discontinue. We also provide linkages between manufacturers and consumers with a view to facilitating harmonization of the interests involved.
In helping our members produce safe food, we are continuously seeking resources to upscale our capacity to provide post product registration surveillance on behalf of our members. We pay greater attention to consistency of efficacy and keeping track of new adverse information relating to registered products sold in the country.
