To further enhance the pesticide management system, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs' Pesticide Management Office, in collaboration with the Institute Control of Agrochemicals, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, P.R. China (ICAMA), developed and released a series of policies in 2024. These policies align with pesticide development and environmental protection requirements, particularly through the implementation of five draft regulations, including the "Pesticide Registration Management Measures."

From April 2022, when the Pesticide Management Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs first solicited opinions and suggestions on the revision of five regulations, including the "Pesticide Registration Management Measures ", "Pesticide Production License Management Measures", "Pesticide Business License Management Measures", "Pesticide Label and Instructions Management Measures", and "Pesticide Registration and Testing Management Measures"; to the beginning of 2023, when the Pesticide Management Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs issued the second letter soliciting opinions on the draft revision of five regulations including the "Pesticide Registration Management Measures"; to November 4, 2024, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs issued the third notice on soliciting public opinions on the "Decision of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs on Amending Five Regulations including the "Pesticide Registration Management Measures" (Draft for Soliciting Opinions)". This article mainly introduces the main changes in the five management measures and their impacts .

Based on comprehensive statistics, a total of 43 new public health pesticides were registered in China in 2023. The primary focus of these registrations was on controlling pests such as mosquitoes, flies, fly larvae, and cockroaches, which are of significant concern in public health management. Among the registered formulations, suspension concentrates emerged as the predominant formulation type. Furthermore, the main method of application for these pesticides was through spraying. As the CIRS Group, we have diligently organized and analyzed the data pertaining to the newly registered public health pesticides in China during 2023. Our objective is to provide valuable insights and references for enterprises' future endeavors in the field of pesticide registration.

Following the implementation of new pesticide management regulations in 2017, a notable trend has been observed in the declining number of newly approved technical grade active ingredients (TGAIs) in China each year. To provide valuable insights, we have meticulously compiled a list of the newly registered TGAI products during the first quarter of 2024 in China. This compilation serves as a valuable reference for industry professionals and stakeholders.
