摘要:
To fight against pests and vectors of certain diseases, Cameroon imports and makes use of pesticides. Importation and utilization are subject to regulation from importers to users. The goal of this study is to evaluate the actual regulatory system of pesticides in Cameroon. From this study has emerged the fact that Cameroon has insufficient legislation for pesticides. Registration does not exist, and the ministry of agriculture restricts itself to issuing attestation of importation, if the product is effective, to those who write an application. Importation and distribution are done in conditions that are far from ideal. To remedy this inadequacy, it is necessary to train and inform all those intervening in this domain and put in place research infrastructures. Appropriate legislation elaborated in a broad consultation with competent authorities in pesticides is also needed.
