Every pesticide sold in the EU must get a new label by 2026
What happened
The European Union has issued new rules for how plant protection products, like pesticides, must be labeled. This means manufacturers will have to redesign all their product packaging to meet the new standards.
Why it matters
Manufacturers of pesticides and other plant protection products in the EU now face a mandatory redesign of all their product labels. This will increase compliance costs for companies, but it means farmers and other users will receive updated or different information about the products they apply.
The signal
Watch for announcements from major agricultural chemical companies about the cost of compliance or any delays in product availability as they update their labels.
