The use of pesticides remains one of the necessary means of controlling pests and diseases in African horticultural crops. However, residues of some of the pesticides used limit market access due to failure to meet MRL requirements of the exporting countries. In addition, there is a need to enhance economic growth and food security through greater investment in agriculture. Pesticide regulation in Egypt, as well as within the African Union, will be discussed.
