Syngenta will stop selling paraquat in Australia after strict new safety rules, but generic versions of the controversial herbicide will remain available

Syngenta is ceasing paraquat sales in Australia after new safety regulations were introduced. This decision impacts product choice and market stability for Australian farmers. Generic paraquat will remain available, but Syngenta's exit raises supply concerns. New rules aim to reduce exposure risks for workers and the environment. Growers must now adapt to stricter conditions and potential market shifts.
