The Pesticides Control Board (PCB) has launched a countrywide inspection exercise to monitor how pesticides and other chemicals are being handled across Malawi. Inspectors found empty pesticide containers from chemicals including: Alice (Acetamiprid), ChemFos Super (Profenofos + Cypermethrin), Beauvitech (Bio-insecticide) and Deltamethrin. The guards recalled seeing Tropha Estate offload pesticide containers at the site, but there was no formal documentation. PCB says its investigation is ongoing to identify companies that are not complying with the required waste disposal regulations. The nationwide inspections are part of PCB’s mandate to protect public health and environmental safety, ensuring that Malawi’s chemical management practices meet national safety standards.
