The Canadian province of Ontario has introduced new regulations that govern the buying, selling and use of neonicotinoid-treated corn and soybeans seeds. Under these new regulations, U.S. vendors of corn and soybean seeds that are treated with the neonicotinoid insecticides and that sell into the Ontario market will be subject to licensing and reporting requirements as well as certain restrictions on whom they can sell to. The responsibilities of the vendor/exporter under these new regulations will vary according to the business model of the vendor.
