What do they do?

CropLife Australia represents the innovators, developers, manufacturers, formulators and registrants of crop protection and ag-biotechnology products. They believe in a rigorous, robust and science-based regulatory system to protect users, consumers and the environment.

  • The regulatory system must be effective and efficient and commensurate with risk.
  • Regulation must be effective to ensure that product use in accordance with label instructions will not have unanticipated, adverse effects.
  • Regulation must also be efficient to ensure that it imposes the lowest possible cost to encourage investment and innovation by registrants to develop and register new products, uses and technologies for farmers.
  • Inefficient regulation can prevent farmers from having timely access to new crops, new pesticides or new uses for existing pesticides.

CropLife believes that the regulatory system must be supported by a comprehensive, flexible and properly targeted compliance system to deal quickly and conclusively with those who choose to avoid the regulatory system and place farmers, consumers, export markets and the environment at risk.
