Welcome to Real IPM

Real IPM mass produces beneficial insects and biopesticides for use in IPM programmes in Kenya and beyond, providing growers with good quality, affordable biological controls.

We are the premier training and information site for horticultural exporters in African, Caribbean and Pacific countries and elsewhere, particularly those exporting into the European Union. We offer a comprehensive suite of training and consultancy packages aimed at bringing you and your staff up to speed on all aspects of best practice in sustainable pest and disease management programmes, with particular focus on compliance with the regulatory regimes governing imports of fresh produce into the EU (food safety, pesticide residues etc).

This website will function as an interface for on-line training. This includes BASIS and FACTS courses (statutory UK accreditation for advisors in crop protection and fertiliser use). Our focus is on training and consultancy in reduced pesticide programmes, or Integrated Pest Management (IPM), but we also offer, through a team of internationally recognised experts, support in health and safety in horticulture, food safety, traceability, ethical trading and compliance with GLOBALGAP, BRC, and other European supermarket audits for the fresh produce industry.
