Preparation of guidelines on:
- harmonization of pesticide registration requirements including the format for minimum data requirement and the modality for a sustainable process;
- harmonization of pesticide registration requirements for biopesticides including the format for minimum data requirement and the modality for a sustainable process;
- harmonization of pesticide labelling requirements;
bio-efficacy testing; and
- monitoring and surveillance of pesticide residues in agriculture products.
The strengthening of the existing Network for information exchange among Pesticide Regulatory Authorities in SEA countries.
Training and upgrading the capabilities of pesticide regulatory officers in the field of:
