Rice exporters back ban on three toxic chemicals
Rice exporters have thrown their full support behind the ban on three toxic farm chemicals, saying importer countries have tightened their order of crops based on food safety.
Charoen Laothamatas, president of the Thai Rice Exporters Association, said the group agrees with the government’s decision to ban paraquat, glyphosate and chlorpyrifos, and has asked farmers to adjust by reducing the use of chemicals.
