MAAIF‑Compliant Crop Protection | Safe Insecticides & Fungicides in Uganda

We Stock Only MAAIF‑Approved Crop Protection Products

Following the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries (MAAIF) directive of October 2025, several active ingredients including Alpha‑cypermethrin, Chlorpyrifos, Dimethoate, Dichlorvos, Carbofuran, and Chlorothalonil have been banned or severely restricted. Agric-Care Uganda fully complies with these regulations – we do not import, stock, or sell any banned products.

We supply a range of effective, legally approved insecticides and fungicides that control pests and diseases without endangering human health, pollinators, or export markets. Our agronomists provide guidance on integrated pest management (IPM) and safe use.

🌱 Integrated Pest Management (IPM) – The Sustainable Future

With the ban on several broad‑spectrum insecticides, IPM is more critical than ever. Agric-Care Uganda promotes crop rotation, resistant varieties, biological controls, pheromone traps, and threshold‑based spraying. We provide training on safe pesticide handling, calibration of sprayers, and personal protective equipment (PPE). Using IPM reduces chemical costs by 30‑50% and protects export market access.

🧪 Safe Handling & Application

We supply PPE (gloves, masks, overalls, goggles) and train farmers on safe mixing, application, and disposal of containers. Always read the label for pre‑harvest intervals and re‑entry periods.

📦 Bulk Orders & Technical Support

For cooperatives, large farms, and NGOs, we offer bulk discounts on approved products. Free delivery for orders above UGX 500,000 within Kampala and major towns. On‑farm demonstrations available.

Why Compliance Matters – Protecting Your Farm & Uganda’s Exports

Using banned pesticides like Chlorpyrifos or Dimethoate leads to interception of your produce at export markets (EU, Middle East, Asia), heavy fines, and health risks. Agric-Care Uganda is committed to supplying only MAAIF‑registered, environmentally safe products. We also provide documentation and training to help you meet GlobalG.A.P. and EU MRL requirements.
