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

Canada:

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.

India:

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:

Don’t worry, the US is going to bring freedom and paraquat to Greenland.
