The UK exported 8,500 tonnes of pesticides last year that are banned on British farms because of the dangers they pose to human health and nature.
Under British law, when a pesticide is banned, the ban does not extend to its production or export. This leaves companies free to keep manufacturing these products in the UK to be sold in countries with weaker regulations.

Five companies were involved in this trade, but Syngenta was responsible for 8,282 tonnes of the exports – or 98%.
The UK’s top three banned pesticide exports were all Syngenta products"
