Background

Since China’s reform and opening up policy was launched back in the late 80’s, the gate of agricultural development is also opened. Encouraged by its Going Out Policy, China’s government and enterprises have gradually become more aware of the great need for advanced agricultural products, technology and management experience, which has fundamentally shaped opportunities for business cooperation and trading between China and foreign countries. In the meantime, with Europe being the world’s leading agricultural pioneer and China’s long history of agriculture, trade ties between China and the European Union, especially in the field of agriculture, have become a main pole of the world in the past decades.

For European companies targeting China as an important overseas market, there are two key factors to take into consideration before going in. One is the regulatory compliance challenge, and the other is the market strategy. In China, the Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) has spent considerable efforts revising its most relevant regulations to improve the quality and safety of agricultural products. China’s Pesticide Regulation was last revised in 2017, which now stresses on risk assessment and pesticides data requirements based on the government’s decision to prioritize pesticide safety. Meanwhile, the Management Measures of Fertilizer Registration also underwent significant changes at the end of 2017 and in order to better regulate China’s fertilizer and pesticide markets the government gradually began instructing stricter supervision of fertilizer and pesticide products.

All these latest changes have made the regulatory compliance process of pesticides and fertilizers in China a more complex and arduous task. In addition to the challenge of ensuring regulatory compliance challenge, increasing number of registered pesticides and fertilizers have also brought competition of agrochemical business to new heights. To win more market share, pesticide and fertilizer companies must pay more attention to the most updated market data, and make better strategies and product positioning for new introduced products.

Besides the two key factors just discussed, having knowledge of tests such as the 5-Batch Analysis, toxicology test, risk assessments, to name a few, can also help companies make more comprehensive compliance plans and better investment budget plans.

To help European agrochemical companies improve their oversea business strategies and increase trade performance, REACH24H Consulting Group will hold its 2nd workshop on September 9th of 2019, bringing experts and professionals in the field the most updated and comprehensive market analysis of China pesticides and fertilizers and key points and issues on pesticide and fertilizer regulations. Companies hoping to improve their market tactics and implement more effective strategies for the registration and market positioning of pesticides and fertilizers in China are welcome to join this year’s workshop.
