Ban on the use of an insecticide that is due to come into force on April 25. Some fear that the France will no longer be able to export cereals to Africa.
Some African states such as Togo, Cameroon, Algeria or Egypt require direct fumigation of this insecticide for the import of wheat. The authorities say they are looking for a legal solution to circumvent this constraint. "The France will continue toExport cereals," said Agriculture Minister Marc Fesneau. The ban on this pesticide worries French cereal producers.
