[Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs: By 2030, China’s ability to ensure the supply of pesticide products will continue to increase and accelerate the integration of pesticide management services and scientific use] On November 4th, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs recently issued the “15th Five-Year Plan for the Development of the National Pesticide Industry”, planning and deploying key tasks such as promoting industrial upgrading, optimizing and adjusting product structure, standardizing pesticide operations in accordance with the law, in-depth promotion of scientific and safe pesticide use, supporting and cultivating advantageous enterprises, optimizing pesticide management services, and other key tasks to promote high-quality development of the pesticide industry. The plan is clear. By 2030, China's pesticide product supply guarantee capacity will continue to increase, production capacity will be generally stable, variety structure will continue to be optimized, and the integration of pesticide business services and scientific use will be accelerated. Focusing on the above goals, the plan proposes a series of specific measures, including coordinating the regional layout of the pesticide industry based on location advantages and resource endowments based on territorial spatial planning, ecological environment zoning control, and major national strategic arrangements; facing the needs of agricultural production, public health, and safety development, integrating the application of cutting-edge scientific and technological means such as gene editing, nucleic acid interference, biosynthesis, and artificial intelligence-assisted design to create new pesticide varieties; establishing information sharing and joint law enforcement Mechanism to strengthen cross-regional coordination of pesticide supervision; strengthen pesticide resistance monitoring and management; integrate pesticide industry-university-research innovation systems and resources, support leading pesticide companies in joining universities and scientific research institutes to build pesticide R&D innovation consortiums, and carry out research on common technologies and key core technologies such as new pesticide targets and new molecular skeletons; promote the construction of pesticide regulations and policies, improve the pesticide registration system and disaster relief pesticide reserve system, and strictly organize and manage pesticide intermediary services, etc.
