"content": "Also, the herbicides, if we could go more on organic and bio, the world over is very keen on bio products. It is very keen on products which have not been sprayed with herbicides which are natural. We are very blessed in Kenya that we have pyrethrum which manufactures organic herbicides. We could be leading when we are very sure that farmers - that is why we talked about extension officers - have been guided properly. If farmers are guided properly, they would find it easy to access these herbicides which are organic. The European market will really welcome us. You see, from where we are, when we go synthetic herbicides, then we lose the market from the European countries. The European countries are very keen on getting organic products, especially for consumption in this era of cancer. Therefore, that is one of the things to look at so that we have a ready market and it is also good for our own consumption when the herbicides are safe and even the storage becomes easier when you are using products which are natural. Pepper can also be used to produce organic herbicides. That has been one of the biggest challenges."
