MCAST’s Institute of Agribusiness is organising a short evening course for importers, distributors and retailers of pesticides.

The Pesticides Control Act regulating the trade of pesticides states that all those who handle these products need to have a license issued by the Malta Competition and Consumer Affairs Authority (MCCAA). This is granted after the interested persons follow a special course approved by the Authority itself.

The Institute of Agribusiness is therefore holding such a course, consisting of 12 2-hour sessions spread over 2 or 3 weeks and starting in early January. This course is approved by the MCCAA and, after completion, participants will sit for a written test and eventually be issued with their license. The fee for this course is €185.

Members who are engaged in the importation, distribution and retailing of pesticides for agricultural, industrial or domestic wishing to attend the course are invited to contact the MCAST – Office of Part-Time Courses on 23987116 or 23987103 and by email on shortcourses@mcast.edu.mt.
