New Pesticide Policy: “One Certificate, One Product”
On November 4, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs released a draft amendment to the "Pesticide Registration Management Measures"and four other regulations for public consultation. The draft mandates that each pesticide product under a single registration can display only one trademark. 
If approved, this policy will require each pesticide to obtain a separate registration certificate, likely triggering a significant market reshuffle in agricultural inputs.
Green Transition Drives Biopesticide Demand
The “One Certificate, One Product” policy raises market entry barriers, allowing only one registration certificate per product. This shift will decrease the variety of multi-branded pesticides with identical active ingredients, creating potential shortages. Distributors without unique product offerings may face increased competition or risk being phased out.
Leading distributors can leverage this shift to diversify, reducing dependency on single-ingredient chemical pesticides and adopting high-value, diverse products. Biopesticides, backed by national policy, represent a high-growth potential solution.
Policy Support Energizes Biopesticide Growth
National policies continue to propel biopesticide development. Initiatives such as the "2025 Fertilizer Reduction Action Plan" and "2025 Chemical Pesticide Reduction Action Plan" by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs promote green, efficient products like microbial fertilizers and biopesticides.
With a focus on sustainable productivity, the government is prioritizing biopesticides, supporting scientific pest control, and advancing green technologies. As an eco-friendly choice, biopesticides align with China’s goals for sustainable agriculture, driving both economic and social benefits.
Biopesticides: A Risk-Reducing Choice Under the New Policy
Adopting biopesticides under the "One Certificate, One Product" framework helps businesses mitigate risks associated with the phase-out of traditional chemical pesticides, supporting environmental responsibility and market resilience.
