President Ranil Wickremesinghe has issued an extraordinary gazette lifting the ban imposed on the importation of pesticides containing glyphosate, effective from August 05.
Accordingly, the import of glyphosate will be permitted subject to a licence from the Pesticides Registrar.
The import of glyphosate was banned in 2015 under the administration of former President Maithripala Sirisena.
