Obsolete pesticides -
Over the last 15 years, 1150 tonnes of
obsolete pesticides stocks have been inventoried and removed out of Mozambique.
In 2002, approximately an additional 650 tonnes of obsolete pesticides
and assimilated waste was again inventoried and lead FAO and the Government
to develop a plan to collect and dispose them of to definitely clear Mozambique
of all important stocks of obsolete pesticides.
Various reasons for pesticide accumulation
have been identified in the country such as the inappropriate procurement
and past central purchasing policy, the pressure to stockpile pesticides
for unforeseen emergencies to control migratory pest, the lack of coordination
between donor agencies or the import of products that are mislabeled.
