📉 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. 📘 croplifeafrica.org/accelerating-t… #BioPPPs

🌱 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. 📘 croplifeafrica.org/accelerating-t… #BioPPPs #FarmerSupport

🌴 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.

🍅 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%.

🍏 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

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.

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

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

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!

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

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

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

This #InternationalYouthDay we celebrate youth shaping ag! 60% of rural youth in SSA farm; over 50% of MENA is under 30. Let’s invest in their innovation. #YouthInAg #FutureOfFarming #CropLifeAfrica

Agriculture in Africa & the Middle East is evolving fast. CropLife AME CEO Samira Amellal shares insights on biotech, crop protection, biologicals & sustainability shaping the region’s future. Read more: chemweek.com/document/show/… #AgriTech #Biotech #Sustainability

Biopesticides protect crops with minimal impact. East Africa tripled fungal biopesticide use from 2015–2019! Let’s scale eco-friendly tools. #CropLifeAfrica #EcoFarming #SustainableFarming

New week. New growth 🌱 We’re inspired by farmers’ resilience, innovation & partnerships building a food-secure future. #MondayMotivation #CropLifeAfricaME #GrowWithPurpose
