NAIROBI, Aug. 3 (Xinhua) -- Kenya has ordered all its exporters of beans and peas in pods to ensure their farms are certified according to recommended international standards by Nov. 1 as it seeks to curb incidences of exceedance of pesticide residue levels in export produce.
Benjamin Tito, the director of Horticulture Crops Directorate (HCD), said in a statement released in Nairobi, the Kenyan capital, Wednesday that the move follows increased interception of Kenya's legumes in the European Union market due to high pesticide residue levels.
