On February 6, 2026, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs officially issued the implementation opinions on the "Guidelines of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Anchoring Agricultural and Rural Modernization and Solidly Promoting Comprehensive Rural Revitalization." This document charts the course for the year's work related to agriculture, rural areas, and farmers. Particularly in the plant protection industry and pesticide management sector, it establishes new four-dimensional development coordinates: "Stringent, Enhanced, Smart, Green."
The opinions clearly guide the transformation and upgrading of the pesticide industry along the entire chain-from "market access, production, circulation, application, to supervision"-presenting a distinct direction characterized by "stringent access, enhanced supervision, smart upgrades, and green transformation." Specifically addressing pesticide industry access and circulation, the document proposes revising the "Requirements for Pesticide Registration Data" and the "Detailed Rules for Pesticide Production License Review." This signals a further increase in compliance thresholds for technical and formulation enterprises. Future pesticide registration will likely need to meet not only traditional efficacy and residue requirements but also make non-target safety data, such as environmental fate and ecotoxicity, a mandatory requirement, prompting enterprises to embed green principles from the R&D stage. Concurrently, the revision of the production license review rules will compel companies to eliminate outdated production capacities, enhance automation and smart manufacturing levels, and ensure traceability throughout the circulation process, thereby constructing a more robust quality and safety defense line.
Shaanxi Hengrun Linong Biotechnology Co., Ltd., a frontline enterprise in the industry, actively responds to the policy call by organizing all employees to thoroughly study the document's content and earnestly implement its spirit. The company insists on viewing the bigger picture, focusing on national food security and ecological protection, while also starting with the meticulous details, striving for excellence in every aspect of production. The company commits to fully supporting and cooperating with the implementation of the new regulations, continuing to provide high-quality, high-standard products to domestic and international customers, and fulfilling its corporate responsibilities through concrete actions to contribute to comprehensive rural revitalization.
The issuance of this implementation opinion not only provides a clear roadmap for the sustainable development of the pesticide industry but also lays a solid foundation for ensuring the quality and safety of agricultural products and promoting the green development of agriculture.
