The use of pesticides in the Near East Region is associated with growing concerns about health and environmental problems. High use of pesticides is economically sub-optimal. Standards on pesticide residues, in particular, for export to Western markets, are becoming more stringent. Consumer concern about food safety is creating markets for food products of better quality. In response to the above mentioned concerns, FAa, in consultation with a broad range of stakeholders from the region, developed the Project GTFS/REM/070/ITA "Regional Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Programme in the Near East". The project is funded by the Italian Governmentl through its contribution to the Trust Fund for Food Safety and Food Security. The project is being implemented in six countries of the Near East Region: the Arab Republic of Egypt, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Palestinian Authority, the Republic of Lebanon and the Syrian Arab Republic.
