Expired and Banned Agricultural Pesticides Seized in Menoufia Inspection Campaign

Authorities seized expired agricultural pesticides and products prohibited from circulation during a large-scale inspection campaign in Egypt’s Menoufia governorate.

Menoufia Governor Amr El-Gharib said the inspections were carried out under Decision No. 1306 of 2026, which provides for the formation of an inspection committee.

The committee is tasked with visiting and inspecting shops selling and trading seeds and pesticides. The campaign uncovered pesticide stocks that had expired, alongside products banned from sale or distribution.

The available details did not specify the quantities seized, identify the businesses involved or outline any further legal action.
