Glyphosate is an active ingredient in many herbicides, including Roundup® brand herbicides.  While some government officials may take non-regulatory actions to restrict glyphosate import or use, science-based regulatory agencies worldwide continue to support the safety and use of glyphosate. (View statements from regulators regarding glyphosate.) Regarding individual countries, we are aware of bans in Cameroon and Sri Lanka; Colombia has banned glyphosate use specifically on illicit crops. (August 2015)
