Nations that have banned paraquat in white
Source from Feb, 2026 by EWG (Environmental Working Group). If anyone has a more updated version, feel free to share it
Notes:
Myanmar:
From 1 April [2026] onwards, paraquat will no longer be permitted to be registered, imported, sold, formulated or repackaged in Myanmar
In Canada, Syngenta was the only paraquat manufacturer with a registered product. Syngenta discontinued registering its product in Canada in 2023 following updated risk-mitigation efforts. Although there is not an outright ban, no paraquat products are sold in Canada.
The draft ‘Banning of Paraquat Dichloride Order, 2026’, issued by the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, was published in the Gazette of India on July 13 and will remain open for public comments for 30 days before a final decision is taken. Did it pass? I cant find much on it
In the USA before California’s ban a couple of days ago:
Keep in mind that the green is only states that are considering legislation, not states that have banned it. Also, I have to wonder how many of these states actually considering it or just saying they are considering it in order to shut people up? 🤔
