The Brazilian government has published two new regulations that establish new rules for the registration of agricultural pesticides. The regulations are signed by the three entities responsible for the approval of technologies: the Ministry of Agriculture, Anvisa (National Health Surveillance Agency), and Ibama (Brazilian Institute of the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources). According to Brazilian authorities, the goal of the new regulation is to "expedite the approval process for these products."

The first ordinance (No. 02/2023) establishes guidelines for changes to the registration of agricultural pesticides, regarding the inclusion or exclusion of registered Technical Products or Pre-Mixtures, formulators, handler, and packaging. The norm aims to streamline administrative procedures and available human resources, directing them to evaluations that require technical analysis. from agropages
