Brazil: Brazilian Legislation for Biopesticides - On-farm Biopesticides Production

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   BR2022-0045

This report highlights the Brazilian biopesticides market and the current developments in the Brazilian legislation for biopesticides. The report focuses on the “on-farm” production of biopesticides, defined as the production of biopesticides at the farm level for non-commercial use. Government agencies and major stakeholders with a deep interest in the topic have listed several pros and cons relative to the matter. The topic has received a lot of attention at the Brazilian Congress. Further discussion is required before setting the regulatory framework for “on-farm” production and the registration of biopesticides by Brazilian authorities, given that the country would most likely be the first major agricultural economy to regulate the subject.
