We champion the role of innovations in plant science to advance sustainable agriculture, help farmers feed the world, tackle climate change and protect nature.
June marks the middle of the year and, across much of our region, the heart of the cropping season. Throughout this month, we will be sharing the innovations shaping crop protection across our national associations. The science, the regulation, the partnerships and the people
advancing safer, more sustainable agriculture in the region. Our mission has not changed. We work to shape the regulatory, legislative and societal environments that support an effective transition to more innovative plant protection solutions. This month, we show what that
Stewardship runs the full lifecycle of a crop protection product. From registration to application to empty container.
That's the work of CropLife AME and its member associations across Africa and the Middle East, every season.

In Uganda, late blight wipes out up to 60% of potato yields.
The world's leading non-grain food crop deserves better. Quality inputs, trained farmers, IPM and responsible use.
This International Day of the Potato.

To the women and men who wake before the sun. Who feed a continent of 1.4 billion.
African farmers aren't waiting for food security. They're building it.
A thriving Africa starts in the soil.
Happy Africa Day. 🌍

African agriculture isn't short on ideas. It's short on pathways.
Biologicals, precision tech, gene editing. None of it reaches farmers without regulation that moves with the science. Five years of SPMF across Kenya, Morocco and Egypt prove it.

A cup of tea is a small thing. The system that makes it possible is not.
Smallholders produce 60% of the world's tea. Their access to genuine crop protection and the right training keeps that system standing.

75%+ of the world's food crops depend on pollinators. Mangoes in West Africa. Coffee in Ethiopia. Vegetables across the Nile Delta. All running on bees. This World Bee Day, protecting pollinators is everyone's work.

The future of pest management is biological. Biopesticides cut residues, manage resistance and unlock export market access for farmers. CropLife AME is fast tracking the regulatory pathway across the region.

Since January 2024, Kenya alone has seized 100+ tonnes of illegal pest control products across 75+ cases. Counterfeits degrade soils, fail crops, put farmers at risk.
Say no to counterfeits.

In Ghana, 268 trained Spray Service Providers serviced 9,000+ farmers in two years.
That's stewardship in action. Pesticide application by trained, accountable professionals.

Pests and diseases destroy up to 40% of crops every year.
This 12 May, International Day of Plant Health, the focus is biosecurity. Stopping pests before they take hold. That's the work of CropLife AME.

20 to 40% of Africa's crops are lost every year to pests, weeds and disease (FAO). Striga alone costs sub-Saharan Africa $7 billion. The fix: genuine crop protection, smart IPM, trained hands. The work of CropLife AME.

with local stakeholders to drive stewardship activities that support sustainable agriculture, food security, and responsible use across Africa and the Middle East.

Stewardship is easy to take for granted until it is absent.
Without stewardship, pesticide resistance goes unmanaged, disposal contaminates water sources, and practical farming knowledge never reaches the field. The impact is gradual but serious. Soil health declines, pests adapt
faster, export markets tighten residue standards, and rural economies lose resilience season after season. Stewardship bridges the gap between innovation and real world impact. It ensures plant science delivers where it matters most: on the farm. At CropLife AME, we work closely
#Stewardship is not theory. It’s practice across every stage of a product’s life. From training spray service providers to managing containers and safely disposing of obsolete stocks, every step protects Africa’s soil, water and air. Learn more: https://t.co/FO8HZGAiSh
Across Africa & the Middle East, agriculture employs more people than any sector. This Workers’ Day, we recognise those who feed the continent. Food security is daily work. Stewardship protects crops and the people behind them. #WorkersDay#FoodSecurity#Stewardship#CropLifeAME
As April closes, one thing is clear: agriculture’s future depends on collaboration 🌍 From food system pressure to innovation, safety, and regulation, it’s all connected. Building resilient, sustainable systems starts now. #FoodSecurity#SustainableAgriculture
