Bio-diversity

Apexhom is a non-profit organisation which regroups producers and exporters of horticultural products as well as importers and distributors of phytosanitary products. The objective of this project is to enable farmers to take an active part in the minimisation of the negative impacts of pesticide use on the land, rivers and marine environment by providing them with a framework and necessary techniques and facilities to minimise and safely dispose of pesticide-related wastes. The expected results are a decrease in the pollution of land and rivers in farming areas, a safe and sustainable operational system of collection of empty pesticide containers and of unwanted pesticides, a change in attitude of the farmers concerning due diligence when using pesticides and an increase in the use of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques and of biopesticides.
