Senate Committee Approves Analysis of Bill 1459\/2022<\/b><\/p>\n
Senate committee approves analysis of Bill 1459\/2022<\/b>, that facilitates use of pesticides in Brazil. Bill was approved by the rapporteur, senator Acir Gurgacz. One of the proposed amendments is that the expression “agrot\u00f3xico<\/i>” (made by the words toxic and agriculture) be replaced by “pesticide”. Bill also provides for the responsibility for allowing the use of pesticide products to be concentrated on the Ministry of Agriculture, but if the product is not approved by Anvisa, the Ministry will have to accept the decision. Bill has been under analysis for 23 years and intends to streamline the process for releasing more modern pesticides. Matter followed on an urgent basis for analysis by the Senate Plenary. “Anvisa and Ibama will always continue to have the same importance they had until now for the approval or rejection of any product. We made a change, excluding two words; these two words made a huge difference. The process enters the Ministry of Agriculture, goes for Anvisa, Anvisa makes an analysis report. When it returns, MAPA is obliged to accept that report. This change was made to give full autonomy to Anvisa and Ibama,” said senator Acir Gurc\u00e1cz.

For almost 18 months, fertilizer prices rose consecutively, starting to decrease only in August 2022. Current levels are still significantly higher than in 2020. Until the current harvest, the movement of anticipation of purchases was intense, with a large portion of farmers purchasing fertilizers already at the end of 2021 to be used only after September 2022. In 2022, acquisitions are slow, either because of the still high prices of fertilizers or the uncertainty about soybean trading values.
