The pesticide industry is a strong safeguard for food security and can also promote the growth of farmers' income and the development of pesticides. However, with the increasing calls for environmental protection across various sectors in China, the impact of pesticides on the environment during their construction, production, and use has attracted people's attention. China has been actively promoting the development of the pesticide industry to ensure food supply, while also introducing a series of policy measures to regulate the pesticide industry, in order to maintain good ecological environment while ensuring food security.
In 2024, China has issued a series of significant policies in the fields of agriculture, chemical industry, and environmental protection, aimed at promoting agricultural modernization, ensuring food security, fostering high-quality development of the chemical industry, and strengthening environmental conservation.

In this report, the publisher will introduce agricultural production measures in 2024, policies on industry management and registration administration of pesticides and the latest list of banned and restricted pesticides, as well as environmental protection policies in China with the following:
