TACKLING THE SALE OF ILLICIT PESTICIDES ON E-COMMERCE PLATFORMS

On 17 April, the Transnational Alliance to Combat Illicit Trade published this report which identifies the scale of trade of illicit pesticides on e-commerce platforms and the vulnerabilities that expose platforms to illicit traders.  The primary objective of the report is to examine the structural vulnerabilities in the operations of e-commerce platforms that can be exploited by criminals to sell illicit pesticides online.  It goes on to present examples of listings of illicit pesticides found on major ecommerce platforms worldwide.  It found that major  e-commerce platforms worldwide sell illicit pesticides, in circumvention of national regulatory controls.
