MAPA Strengthens Quality Control in Pesticides: New Notices Published in the Official Gazette

Brazil’s Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply (MAPA) recently published six new notices in the Official Gazette of the Union (DOU), establishing strict guidelines for document verification and quality control of existing registrations of pesticides containing the following active ingredients:

Atrazine | Chlorfenapyr | Acephate | Glufosinate | Methomyl | Epoxiconazole

MAPA’s goal is to ensure greater rigor in regulatory compliance and the quality of products available on the market, in line with the requirements of Law No. 14,785/2023.

• Scope: Companies affected are those listed in MAPA Annex 1 that hold registrations for technical and formulated products based on the mentioned active ingredients.

• Phase 1 – Document Submission (90 days):
• Registration certificates (formulated and technical products).
• Information on production, commercialization and/or importation from the last two years.
• For imported products: registration in the country of origin, quality control and authorized importers.
• Phase 2 – Submission of Analytical Standard (180 days):
• Analytical standard of the active ingredient (individual or in a “pool” of companies).
• Representative samples of technical and formulated products.
• Delivery to LFDA-SP (Campinas/SP), with protocol and electronic petitioning in SEI-MAPA.

• Cancellation of product registration.
• Inclusion of the company in the red channel for imports.

• Notice No. 2 (Glufosinate), No. 3 (Atrazine), No. 4 (Chlorfenapyr), No. 5 (Glufosinate), No. 6 (Methomyl), and No. 7 (Epoxiconazole) (November/2025) – available in the DOU
