India is the only proven source of DDT for WHO supported malaria eradication programmes in Africa, via HIL (India) Limited. Private companies can&#8217;t directly produce DDT, but there are huge possibilities in the private sector for WHO approved alternatives such as Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs), pyrethroid formulations, malathion sprays and biological mosquito-control chemicals.<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t a regular chemical export company. It is a specialised health care driven industry supported by WHO, UNICEF, African governments and international donor agencies.
