Pesticide Registration in Kenya: What Importers Need
Kenya requires pesticide registration before import or sale. CHICO helps you prepare the technical documents and samples needed to work with your local registrant.
Who Regulates Pesticides in Kenya
In Kenya, the Pest Control Products Board (PCPB) is the authority for pesticides. Pesticides must be registered with this authority before import or sale. You can check the public list of PCPB registered products on their website.
As an importer, you'll work through a local registrant. That registrant handles the application and holds the registration. Your job is to supply accurate product data and samples. CHICO supports that step with technical documents and formulation details.
How CHICO Supports Your Registration
- Technical documents
- We provide the product specifications, composition, and analytical data your registrant needs to prepare a PCPB submission.
- Samples for testing
- You can request samples for local trials or lab analysis. We ship small quantities quickly so your timeline doesn't stall.
- Formulation matching
- If you already hold a registration for a specific formulation, we can match it to our production capabilities.
- Small pack options
- We offer small package customization for market testing or initial launch quantities. This helps you manage inventory risk.

Kenya Registration Questions
Can I import a CHICO product that is not on the PCPB list?
No. Pesticides must be registered with PCPB before import or sale. Check the public list at pcpb.go.ke/registered-products. If your product isn't there, work with a local registrant first.
What does CHICO provide for a PCPB submission?
We supply technical documents, product specifications, and samples. Your local registrant uses these to complete the application. We don't file directly with PCPB.
Can CHICO match a formulation already registered by another company?
Yes, if the formulation is within our production capability. Send us the label or specification of the registered product, and we'll confirm whether we can match it.
