NO This repor provides a detailed assessment of alternatives to methyl bromide (MB) as mandated by the Montreal Protocol. It covers global production and consumption trends, highlighting significant reductions achieved since 1991, particularly in non-Article 5 countries, which have phased out 80% of their baseline consumption. The report evaluates technical and economic feasibility of alternatives for soil treatments, post-harvest uses, and quarantine applications, identifying gaps where alternatives remain unavailable. It also discusses critical use exemptions (CUEs) and the progress of Article 5 countries in adopting alternatives through Multilateral Fund projects. Special attention is given to emission reduction strategies and case studies showcasing successful transitions to MB-free practices.
