The government has made key environmental and agricultural policy shifts that are geared towards the revival of the pyrethrum industry.
In the new dispensation, the government has implemented the ban on the use of over 77 harmful pesticides and restricted the use of 100 others in a bid to make Kenyan pyrethrum competitive in the global market.
This key environmental and agricultural policy shift creates an opportunity for Kenya to reclaim its position in the global pyrethrin value chain as well as modernise the sector to meet the market demands.
Pyrethrum farmers in Nakuru County, Kenya's leading pyrethrum producer, are now set for a boost in the crop's earnings following the renewed national government's initiative to fully revive the country's once thriving pyrethrum industry.
