A survey carried out for the Partnership has so far identified more than 5,000 commercial farms, in more than 30 countries worldwide, that produce tomatoes, peppers, melons, strawberries and flowers without using Methyl Bromide.
UNEP said that the Partnership plans to es business-to-business net-based service, linking grocery stores seeking goods produced without Methyl Bromide with farmers and suppliers who do not use the pesticide.
Farms and companies that join the Partnership have already stopped using Methyl Bromide or will pledge to halt its use by September 2007, in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Montreal Protocol.
