    Product Knowledge : Types of Pesticides
    (2013)
    This fact sheet introduces the various types of pesticides used to control different types of pests. The most common pesticides include insecticides (for insects), fungicides (for fungi), herbicides (for unwanted plants), miticides (for mites), nematicides (for nematodes), molluscicides (for snails and slugs), and rodenticides (for rodents). The fact sheet also emphasizes the importance of understanding the specific pest a farmer is dealing with in order to recommend the correct pesticide. Pesticides can be classified based on the type of pest they control, their chemical composition, toxicity, and mode of action. The document aims to help agricultural workers select the appropriate pesticide for different pest issues.

Official trade data, validated by the Fertilizer Technical Working Group (FTWG-TAN), reveals significant trends in fertilizer production, importation, exportation, and consumption. Key findings highlight a 17% increase in domestic fertilizer production, rising from 39,364 MT in 2022 to 46,098 MT in 2023. Notably, total imports surged by 26% to 789,842 MT, driven by enhanced access to subsidized fertilizers and improved farmer knowledge. The report analyzes major fertilizer categories, including NPK, Urea, and DAP, along with their sources and uses across various crops. Additionally, it discusses the regulatory landscape, emphasizing the role of the subsidy program in promoting fertilizer accessibility.

    Aperçu des Statistiques sur les Engrais Mali 2019 - 2023
    (2024)
    Ce rapport présente un aperçu des statistiques sur les engrais au Mali de 2019 à 2023, en se concentrant sur les données validées par le Groupe de travail technique sur les engrais - Mali (FTWG-MLI) pour l'année 2023. L'analyse comprend des aspects clés tels que la production, les importations, les exportations, consommation et les origines des engrais. En 2023, les importations d'engrais du Mali ont augmenté de 9% par rapport à 2022, portées par une résurgence de la demande en matières premières, notamment pour la production de coton. La production d’engrais organiques a connu une légère baisse mais est restée stable par rapport aux niveaux d’avant la COVID-19, en raison des programmes de subventions en cours. Le rapport souligne notamment que la Russie reste un fournisseur important malgré les défis géopolitiques, tandis que le Burkina Faso est devenu la principale destination des exportations.

    Fertilizer Statistics Overview Mali 2019 - 2023
    (2024)
    This report presents an overview of fertilizer statistics in Mali from 2019 to 2023, focusing on data validated by the Fertilizer Technical Working Group - Mali (FTWG-MLI) for the year 2023. The analysis includes key aspects such as production, imports, exports, consumption, and the origins of fertilizers. In 2023, Mali's fertilizer imports increased by 9% compared to 2022, driven by a resurgence in demand for raw materials, particularly for cotton production. Organic fertilizer production experienced a slight decline but remained stable compared to pre-COVID levels, attributed to ongoing subsidy programs. Notably, the report highlights that Russia remains a significant supplier despite geopolitical challenges, while Burkina Faso emerged as the main export destination.

    Fertilizer Statistics Overview Malawi 2019 - 2023
    (2024)
    This overview presents an analysis of fertilizer statistics in Malawi from 2019 to 2023, with a focus on the significant developments in 2023. Drawing on official trade data validated by the Fertilizer Technical Working Group (FTWG-MWI), the report highlights key aspects of fertilizer production, imports, exports, and consumption. Malawi lacks primary production of inorganic fertilizers, relying entirely on imports, primarily NPK, Urea, and Ammonium Sulphate. The implementation of the Affordable Inputs Program in 2020 dramatically increased fertilizer imports and consumption, culminating in a 57% rise in imports from 2022 to 2023, reflecting a recovery from previous market disruptions. Notably, 90% of fertilizers were sourced from ten countries, predominantly via Mozambique's ports. The apparent consumption of fertilizers showed significant fluctuations, with a remarkable recovery in 2023, reaching over 413,000 MT.
