This leaflet aims to inform policy makers about successful farmer experiences in managing coffee pests without the insecticide endosulfan. It demonstrates that phasing out of Highly Hazardous Pesticides (HHPs) in favour of safe and cost-effective alternatives is entirely possible - on large estates and small family farms. The findings also serve as useful generic lessons for governments, farmers and other stakeholders on how to improve chemicals management and promote sustainable agriculture in the context of the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm (BRS) conventions.
