ARA Sends Letter to EPA Regarding Cancellation Order for Sulfoxaflor

ARA sends a letter to Jim Jones Assistant Administrator of the Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with concerns over the expected cancellation order for sulfoxaflor and the possible disruption to supply chain if cancelled. There is over 85% of year’s supply of sulfoxaflor in the marketing channel at present. Of that total no more than 5% is in the hands of the end user.
