UGANDAN farmers could lose millions of dollars in fruits and vegetable exports into the European Union(EU) market when the government imports DDT for the prevention of malaria.

malaria kills 70000-110000 children under 5 years of age in uganda per year [
source]. now ugandans can choose between having their agricultural products boycotted by the rich europeans or stop defending themselves with the cheap effective insectizide DDT, which will result in many more deaths.
as citizen of the eu it feels so good to know our economic power is being used to protect the environment from evil DDT, who cares if some negroes die from malaria.
