4.1.4.3 The governement and the sustainable pesticides<br />

After interviewing experts in the field concerning the support of the governement<br />

is giving them to import or produce sustainable pesticides. We discovered the<br />

following:<br />

1- They believe that the distribution of sustainable pesticides is profitable<br />

2- The prices of sustainable products is still expensive sometimes<br />

3- There is no enough legal framework to promote sustainably<br />

4- No help from the governement to produce sustainably<br />

5- Some small initiatives where mentioned: The ministry of Agriculture<br />

has offered each organic farmer some bio pesticides (copper and<br />

sulfure).<br />

6- Government could play a role in facilitating the import of Bio pesticides<br />

into Lebanon.<br />

7- Encourage Research and Development.<br />

8- Government should offer subsidies for the organic farming sector<br />

mainly in the livelihood<br />
