Although Kenya has a relatively high number of registered biopesticides products, little is known about biopesticides use by smallholders.
Agriculture accounts for 65% of the total export earnings in Kenya with horticulture being the largest agricultural sub-sector contributing about 33% of the Agricultural GDP and 38% of export earnings.
Despite this critical importance, farmers are increasingly facing resistance to pesticides, an important factor of production. At the same time, export markets continue to increase standards regulating biopesticides chemical residue levels. This has led to the ban of commonly used biopesticides or severe restriction of their use.
The ban on biopesticides has resulted in high incidences of rejection of horticultural produce in the export market due to noncompliance to set standards for many smallholder farmers groups which produce most of the vegetables and fruit marketed for export. Household incomes have in turn negatively affected the entire economy.
Although Kenya has a relatively high number of registered biopesticide products, little is known about biopesticide use by smallholders.
