Why are developing countries still using pesticides that have been banned?

first of all because they are allowed to. remember that when one bans a pesticide it doesnt just go away immidiatly. one needs to find alternatives both for use and production and one has to finish all the left overs.
also "developed" countries have done so mostly at the expence of developing countries with the use of cheap pesticides which are now banned and it isn't very fair to tell them now they cant use cheap stuff because we don't like it.
in some cases such as the use of DDT against malaria there simply isn't a choise nothing else works.
