At CropLife Uganda's inaugural symposium held at Kampala Serena Hotel, CONSENT called for strict regulation of agrochemicals.

During CropLife Uganda's symposium, CONSENT urged regulators and agricultural chemical dealers to phase out Highly Hazardous Pesticides (HHPs) that pose severe environmental and health risks to rural farming communities. Head of Programs Mr. Bwambale Benard presented evidence of illegal chemical repackaging in regional markets and advocated for farmer education on sustainable bio-pesticide alternatives.
