Why Are Banned Chemicals Still Reaching Farmers? CS Kagwe's Powerful Challenge to the World!

What happens when agricultural chemicals banned in some parts of the world continue finding their way into the hands of farmers elsewhere? At the 2026 World Farmers' Organisation (WFO) General Assembly in Nairobi, Kenya's CS Sen. Mutahi Kagwe, delivers a powerful call for global action against hazardous agrochemicals and challenges the international community to put farmers at the centre of agricultural policy. In this address, CS Kagwe raises critical questions about food safety, farmer welfare, counterfeit farm inputs, agricultural financing, technology, and the future of global agriculture. Why does the world operate under different standards for farmers? What reforms are needed to protect farmers, consumers, and the environment? And how can global agriculture become fairer and more sustainable? Watch the full address to hear the bold message that sparked conversations among agricultural leaders, policymakers, farmers' organisations, and development partners from around the world. #WFO2026 #FarmersFirst #Agriculture #FoodSecurity #Agrochemicals #Kenya #WFOGeneralAssembly #SustainableAgriculture #MutahiKagwe
