THE Government is increasingly under attack from exporters' associations over its decision to spray DDT in September.

The National Environment Management Authority recently approved the re-introduction of DDT for interior spraying to fight malaria. The exporters are worried about its impact on Uganda's markets.

"We are scared because it will affect our exports to Europe if DDT residues are detected in the agricultural products," commented the chairman of the Uganda Flower Exporters' Association, Jacques Schrier.
