July 2017. In an article from Reuters, the coffee industry in Brazil is reported to be bracing for a poor year because of the ban imposed on endosulfan used to control coffee berry borer. What to do?
FAO and PAN UK carried out some studies in Central America in preparation for the global endosulfan ban, implementing an IPM approach with great success. Information can be found here: http://www.pan-uk.org/coffee-without-endosulfan/
A paper put out by UN UNEP/POPS/POPRC8/INF/14/Rev.1 valuation of non-chemical alternatives to endosulfan under the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants can be found below.
