FAO : Guidelines for retail distribution of pesticides with particular reference to storage and handling at the point of supply to users in developing countries [1988]
Description:
One source of risk is during storage and handling at the point of supply to users. The risks may be even greater in developing countries which usually lack the infrastructure and suitably trained personnel for their safe handling during the stage of distribution. In most instances a pesticide may be imported from the country of origin and transported by sea, then by road or rail to the warehouse. This may be followed by transport by road to major distributors in the country who in turn send them to retailers or dealers most of whom may be situated in rural areas.
Why this Tool/Guidance?
The guidance contains useful information on storage of pesticides that can be applied to non-distribution situations.
