NAFDAC moves to sanitise Nigerian agrochemical market

The National Agency for Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has called for mandatory listing of agro-chemical dealers in the country with the view to curbing the influx of fake and substandard agro-chemicals and other farm inputs into the market. The Director General of the agency, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, made the call in Kano on last Tuesday while delivering the keynote address at the sensitization workshop organized to enlighten agro-chemical dealers in the state on safe and responsible use of Crop Protection Products (CPP).
