FMC instructed our distributor for Eastern Africa to stop sales of Furadan into Tanzania and Uganda in April 2009 as a proactive and precautionary measure. Conservation groups were concerned that Furadan sold in those countries could be used for illegal baiting there and also brought into neighboring Kenya. We have also conducted a buy-back program in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. We continue to work closely with government agencies and conservation groups on this issue.
