From Agricultural Waste to Efficient Pesticide: Chinese Research Team Breaks Through Green Production Barrier for Avermectin

Dateline: A recent scientific breakthrough is drawing attention for its potential to revolutionize traditional pesticide production. A research team from the Institute of Plant Protection at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (IPP-CAAS) has successfully developed a new solid-state fermentation technique using agricultural waste to produce Avermectin, the world's most significant bio-pesticide. The study, published in the renowned international journal Bioresource Technology, not only opens up new avenues for the valorization of agricultural waste but has also reduced the production cost of Avermectin by 8.38%.

An Analysis of China's Pesticide Export Market Landscape: Insights from "Export-Only" Registration Data

Since the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (MARA) issued Announcement No. 269 in 2020, China's pesticide export management has entered a new phase. This policy established a clear registration pathway for "export-only" pesticides, requiring applicant companies to either hold overseas registrations or act as suppliers for overseas products. This regulation has provided a standardized channel for Chinese pesticide companies to enter the international market. By analyzing data from 2021 to October 2024, we can clearly delineate the current overall landscape, market characteristics, and future challenges for China's "export-only" pesticides.

The Sustainable Agricultural Transition in Japan: The Role and Regulatory Status of Biopesticides

In Japan, the scarcity of land resources has long driven the intensification of agriculture, where the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers was once a common choice to maximize crop yield per unit area. However, this model has also led to increasing environmental pressure, prompting Japanese society to turn its attention toward more sustainable agricultural pathways aimed at protecting the health of soil, water sources, biodiversity, and even entire rural ecosystems. As public concern over food safety and pesticide residues grows, safer and more environmentally friendly biopesticides have gradually become a shared expectation among both farmers and consumers.
