According to the World Health Organization’s “Vector-borne diseases” Fact Sheet (26 September 2024), these diseases account for more than 17% of all infectious diseases worldwide, causing over 700,000 deaths every year. Mosquitoes alone are responsible for transmitting malaria, dengue, yellow fever, and other life-threatening illnesses.
Pyrethrum, a natural insecticide, is a proven and eco-friendly solution to reduce mosquito populations without the harmful residues of synthetics.
At Manna Tech, we are building Kenya’s full pyrethrum value chain — from seed to processing and export — to deliver high-quality extracts that protect communities while restoring farmer livelihoods and redefining Kenya as a global leader in natural insecticides. Kenya can play an essential role with its pyrethrum to help WHO meet its vector control response goals by 2030.
