Libya Starts Campaign Against Harmful Pesticides
Libyan authorities continued their campaigns to crack down on networks involved in the trade of banned and carcinogenic pesticides. This came after investigations by the Public Prosecutor revealed that 65% of agricultural produce samples contained forbidden substances, leading to extensive measures against those involved, including raiding hundreds of shops across several cities and seizing thousands of containers of illegal pesticides. These efforts were a response to regulatory gaps that allowed pesticides to enter the market without proper labeling, with the Ministry of Economy also acknowledging the need to regulate pesticide imports and update the list of banned substances. The campaign demonstrated unprecedented consensus among the country's official agencies, amid anticipation of the investigation's outcomes in the broadest case threatening food security and public health.
