Thailand: Economic Impact of the Ban on Paraquat and Chlorpyrifos on Thai Industries

Responsible government agencies in Thailand are revising their rules and regulations to ban the use of paraquat and chlorpyrifos. The Thai Food and Drug Administration (TFDA) is going to apply a zerotolerance MRL for residues of these two substances in food and food products, which will disrupt imports of agricultural commodities from several countries, including the United States, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, and Australia. The United States’ potential agricultural export losses, if this new rule comes into effect as currently proposed, will be approximately U.S. $0.9-1.1 billion per annum.
