Furadan Availability
Category: carbofuran | Date: Jul 15 2009 | By: Martin Odino
Dear readers,
Just having finished combing the rice growing areas a few days ago to find out if Furadan is still at large and used for poisoning, at least birds, affirmatively the pesticide is available in these rice schemes turned poisoning camps.
A moment ago, I checked my email inbox only to find one from a coleagueresearcher, Dr.Dino Martins with the screaming title: FURADAN IN ELDORET. Dino’s email details that the agrovet had the pesticide displayed on the shelves in full view of anyone while the keepers are aware that it is being withdrawn but the “distributors are still selling it!”
Now, it does look like the western Kenya agricultural town of Eldoret still boasts the poisonous pesticide and is far from being short of it, with the distributors keeping the stock steady. I really hope this distributor is not Juanco and that it is not coming from FMC. But then it means the doors of another or other distributors have been flung open and with no ban announced on the poison, poachers and pastoralists can still easily lay their hands on Furadan and kill wildlife at will. Below is a photograph taken by Dino at one of the Agrovets in Eldoret.

When will this madness end? Is there anyway to find out who the distributor is?
Again, I am totally at a loss for words Martin!

The madness may end with a ban on carbofurans; when it will be illegal when they get into Kenya. It is the the solution that those who can effect the ban are going round and round and avoiding.Folllowing up to establish who the distributor of Furadan 5G in Eldoret is.
