Show Notes

In this episode, we delve into the phase-out of hazardous agricultural chemicals, specifically those classified under CMR 1A and 1B, known for their potential to cause cancer, genetic mutations, and reproductive harm.

 

Roleen la Grange, regulatory manager at CropLife South Africa, and Chana-Lee White, agri-intel manager, discuss the details of these regulatory changes.

They also unpack how the new regulations will impact South African farming practices, the process for seeking exemptions, and the alignment with international standards.
