Today marks the conclusion of a three-day workshop on the COMESA-EAC Horticultural Accelerator (CEHA) project, aimed at accelerating the growth of the Fruit and Vegetable sub-sector in the COMESA and EAC Regions.

The trade in mango, avocado, pawpaw, and citrus within the East African Community (EAC) region, EU and China at the import and export levels has been on the increase recently but its success is dependent on tackling a range of crop pests and diseases.

[Fresh Produce Exporters Association of Kenya @FPEAK_]

The three-year project will seek to increase compliance with sanitary & phytosanitary (SPS) for the fruits through improved surveillance and management of scale insect pests. These include false yellow scale, snout scale and black parlatoria scale (Parlatoria ziziphin).

FPEAK will partner with @CABI_News and @KephisKe to implement a project aiming to improve market access for pawpaw, mango, avocado, and citrus by managing invasive scale insect pests in Eastern Africa – particularly Kenya, Uganda and Burundi.

@panagrimedia Good read

[PanAfrican Agriculture @panagrimedia]

PS Harry Kimtai urged #smallholderfarmers along with key players in the #agriculture sector to pursue better certification standards.
He responded to journalists concerning #GMOs and whether they could in any way affect exportation.
