The Export of Banned Pesticides and the Need for Tougher Regulations
Many European countries and China export pesticides that are banned for use in their own countries. The United Nations Special Rapporteur for Toxics argues that this practice is discriminatory and calls for stronger global pesticide regulations. Countries like France, Belgium, and Germany have started outlawing the export of banned pesticides, but different climates and soil conditions may require different pesticides. The agrochemical industry warns that a ban on effective pesticides could have devastating effects on food production.
