CL AME extends heartfelt condolences to the gov & people of Ghana following the tragic helicopter crash in the Ashanti region.We mourn this profound loss alongside the nation and stand in solidarity with our colleagues at CropLife Ghana during this difficult time. #StandWithGhana

Safer crop protection = safer food 🌍.IPM, PPE & proper use cut residues by 75%, boost pollinator health & protect communities. #CropLifeAfrica #ResponsibleUse #SustainableFarming 🔗

#Throwback to Ghana 🇬🇭.We supported trade reforms, cashew farmers, & pesticide recycling. Ag innovation is stronger when policy, sustainability & farmers align. #AfCFTA #PollinatorProtection #CircularAgriculture

With 60% of Africa’s population facing food insecurity & 2.5B people by 2050 — protecting every harvest matters more than ever. Modern crop protection tools are helping farmers cut losses, boost yields & feed more people. In SSA, herbicides = +50% maize yields!

regulation, stewardship, and access to safe, effective crop protection—key to securing both food and environmental health. We welcome this moment of reflection and remain committed to building better food systems, together. #UNFSS #UNFSSplus4 #FoodSystems #SustainableAgriculture.

responsible pesticide use. This also enabled meaningful engagement with Cameroon’s UN coordination team and IGAD, laying the groundwork for deeper regional collaboration. At CLAME, we continue working with farmers, policymakers, and value chain actors to advance science-based.

strengthen partnerships, and drive investment toward sustainable, inclusive, and resilient food systems. We were honoured to host a dinner for the Global Flagship Initiative for Food Systems, creating space for open dialogue, collaboration, and shared commitment to innovation and.

Last week, Fasil Tadesse and Evelyn Lusenaka represented CropLife Africa Middle East at the UN Food Systems Summit +4 (UNFSS+4) in Addis Ababa, co-hosted by Ethiopia and Italy. Four years after the original summit, this gathering offered a crucial platform to reflect on progress,

The #CropLifeAfricaMiddleEast team met with #ICPAC to explore smarter, safer pesticide management in the #IGAD region—focusing on drone tech & sustainable solutions. Advancing #SmartFarming together. #AgInnovation #FoodSecurity #PesticideStewardship #DroneTechnology

August farming across Africa & Middle East: planting in East, harvesting in North/West, managing irrigation in extreme heat. Key dates: 🌱 Youth Day (Aug 12) 💧 Water Week (Aug 20-24). Supporting young innovators for water-smart, sustainable agriculture!.#WorldWaterWeek

As Jul wraps, here’s what we’ve been driving at CLAME: 🍅 Protecting crops 🌍 Tackling climate change with smart ag solutions 👩🏽‍🌾 Backing women in green value chains 🛡️ Advancing biopesticide access. Innovation, inclusion & impact—together.

🍏 Apples at risk in Africa! Without crop protection, orchards could lose 20–40% of yields. Pests like codling moth & scab threaten harvests, prices & nutrition. Let’s protect every crunch. #CropProtection = affordable, healthy fruit. #AppleFarming #FoodSecurity #AfricaAg

🍅 DYK? Without crop protection, up to 77.7% of tomato yields could be lost. That’s just 1/5 tomatoes reaching you. 🚨 Consequences: 🌍 Food shortages 📈 Price hikes ⚠️ Poorer nutrition ✅ With smart crop protection, we can slash losses to just 15–35%.

🌴 Dates = nutrition + income across MENA. 🪲 But red palm weevil (RPW) threatens 30% of annual harvests — costing $130M+ even at 5% spread. 🚫 No crop protection = fewer dates, higher prices, food insecurity. ✅ Biocontrol, traps & sprays keep orchards alive.

🌱 Biopesticides can transform farming —but only if we remove key roadblocks: 📉 Limited training 📦 Handling/storage challenges 🌦️ Climate uncertainty ⏱️ Misconceptions on efficacy. It’s time to equip farmers with tools + trust. 📘 #BioPPPs #FarmerSupport

📉 Biopesticides = major potential 🌱 But farmers still face hurdles: • Limited training • Climate uncertainties • Storage/handling issues • Misperceptions on speed.CropLife AME is calling for better support & awareness. 📘 #BioPPPs

🌍 Big milestone for sustainable ag! The 2024 Sustainable Pesticide Management Framework (SPMF) is here — driving safer, science-based pesticide use across 9 countries. A game-changer for farmer safety & food security in Africa & beyond. 📖 Read more:

Without crop protection, Africa’s grape industry is at risk. 🍇.Diseases like mildew & botrytis can slash yields by up to 40%. ✅ Tools like biocontrol & targeted fungicides keep grapes growing, farmers earning & tables full. #CropProtection #FoodSecurity #Grapes #AfricaAg

Without crop protection, Africa’s citrus harvests could vanish — and your Vitamin C with it. In Kenya, HLB disease wiped out 75% of orange yields. Pests already destroy ~40% of crops globally.🛡️ Let’s protect citrus, support farmers & safeguard food security. #CropProtection

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is key to sustainable farming—and biopesticides are at its core. 🌱 They reduce resistance, protect soil & biodiversity, and work with synthetics—not against them. Let’s scale IPM for resilient agriculture. 🔗
