Guizhou's Meitan builds an eco-friendly tea industry

The tribunal banned glyphosate, a commonly used herbicide in tea farming, in the region due to its high residue levels.

Yang Dong, an official from the local agriculture department, praised the province's agricultural chemical regulations: "The national standard bans 98 types of pesticides, while we prohibit 156. Glyphosate is strictly forbidden in all our tea-producing areas. We even have a slogan: 'Better weeds than glyphosate.'"
