The benefits of BioPPPs stem from their integral role in integrated pest management (IPM), their ability to work synergistically with conventional pesticides, enhancing crop yields, supporting effective resistance management strategies for farmers, and contributing to reduced residue levels in crops. They improved soil health and have minimal negative effects on non-target organisms.
There are several proposals for the adoption of BioPPPs to be addressed together, such as:
CropLife AME ESA Hub Meeting 2025 – Thank You!
Last June ie; from 24–26 June, CLAME successfully held the East and Southern Africa Hub Meeting in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, bringing together public and private sector stakeholders from across the region.
Over three impactful days, we exchanged insights, aligned on priorities, and strengthened partnerships to advance stewardship, regulatory harmonization, and sustainable agriculture in the region.
A heartfelt thank you to all participants, speakers, and partners who made this gathering a success!
Together, we are shaping the future of sustainable agriculture in Africa.
In a Panel Discusssion on Stewardship & Sustainability in Action for hashtag#ACAT2025, Ms. Evelyn Lusenaka, Director- Stewardship at CropLife Africa Middle East noted:
“Innovation in pesticide application (drones) and product development (biologicals) are key strategies advancing the blend between use of pestcides and regenerative agriculture. However, overcoming regulatory hurdles (drone adoption in Africa) is crucial for realizing the potential of precision agriculture”
From May 26th to 30th, 2025, a training-of-trainers workshop was held in Saly, Senegal, under the CLAME initiative. The workshop brought together representatives from the Plant Protection Directorates of five countries: Côte d’Ivoire, Mali, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, and Senegal, as well as experts from CILSS and PRPICA. Key highlights from the workshop included remarks from Ms. Sène Oualy Binetou Fall, Head of Plant Legislation and Quarantine Division at Senegal’s Plant Protection Directorate, who highlighted the challenges of balancing agricultural production with export requirements.
Jules Talom from CropLife Cameroon emphasized the critical role of trainers in supporting farmers to adhere to proper dosages, product handling, and integrated pest management practices.
The workshop concluded with 17 trainees receiving their training-of-trainer certificates. The diverse group of participants included regulators, agricultural support service providers, researchers, and industry experts from both the cotton and plant protection sectors.
