CROPWATCH AFRICA

is a specialized Service Provider which focuses on supporting government and stakeholders across Africa in safeguarding their resources, by ensuring the early detection of invasive pests and diseases before they cause significant damage.
Efficient and timeous monitoring of pests and diseases is the first line of defense against damage. Our Detection efforts increase the likelihood that new harmful pest and diseases will be noticed successfully while occurrences are still localized, and infected sites are not beyond that which can be contained, and the pests eradicated.
In addition, the costs associated with eradication and control efforts are typically far more than those of long-term surveillance.
