Antigua & Barbuda participated in an Interregional Dialogue on Phasing Out Highly Hazardous Pesticides
Proud moment for Antigua and Barbuda – Deputy-Registrar of Pesticides & Toxic Chemicals, Petranilla Estreada, represented our nation at the Interregional Dialogue on Phasing Out Highly Hazardous Pesticides (12–14 Nov 2025, Harare). Regulators from Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific validated a regional HHP strategy, shared best practices for risk assessment and mitigation, and mapped future road-maps to phase out HHPs while promoting safer alternatives.
This is a major step toward harmonized pesticide regulation, stronger regional cooperation, and healthier communities and ecosystems.
Congratulations to all participants — together we’re protecting people, trade and biodiversity.
