Addressing the shrinking toolbox: Global experts look ahead to regulatory gaps

Addressing the shrinking toolbox: Global experts look ahead to regulatory gaps - Latest News

As crop protection tools disappear faster than alternatives reach growers, manufacturers and formulators face increasing adaptation pressures. This challenge is at the heart of… Global Agricultural Business Live! Webinar, “ Adapting Regulatory Strategies to 2026 ”.

Experts from Southeast Asia, the United States and the European Union, Latin America, and Africa outlined the changing global landscape: stricter regulations, drug resistance issues, evolving import rules, and rising costs are rapidly reshaping the supply of products. Across continents, a common theme emerges: widening regulatory gaps, and biologics, combination therapies, and innovative solutions may be the fastest way to fill them.

Southeast Asia: Swift bans, slow alternatives

Dr. Piyatida Pukclai , Sales and Regulatory Policy Manager for Knoell Asia Pacific, issued one of the most stern warnings at the start of the meeting: Southeast Asia is banning harmful pesticides faster than countries are registering alternatives.

“The rate of obsolescence is very fast—sometimes even faster than the rate at which alternatives are found,” Puckley said. Even when alternatives exist, regional registration processes remain slow and fragmented. “Registering a new active substance can take years, and for biologics, the so-called fast track is actually not fast at all.”

She highlighted the mismatch between regulatory expectations and biological realities. "Efficacy trials are still being conducted based on guidelines designed for conventional pesticides," Puckley said.
