Brazil Seeks Glyphosate Ban, Bayer Faces Fallout
25 May
Summary
- Brazilian prosecutors seek to ban glyphosate's use.
- The lawsuit targets health agency Anvisa and the government.
- Bayer AG could be significantly impacted by a ban.
Brazilian prosecutors have filed a lawsuit seeking to prohibit the use of glyphosate, a widely used herbicide. The legal action is directed at the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) and the federal government.
Should the cancellation of glyphosate's registration succeed, major agrochemical companies could face significant challenges. Germany's Bayer AG, in particular, could be affected as it incorporates glyphosate into various formulations following the expiration of its patent. This development underscores ongoing regulatory scrutiny of the controversial herbicide.
