Brazil<\/h3>\n\nFrom 01\/01\/2022 to 10\/07\/2024, Anvisa approved the toxicological evaluation of 165 Chemical Formulated Pesticides in compliance with court decisions<\/strong>, 48 of which were in 2024. The 7 companies with most approvals reached 53.3% of the total, with highlights to Rainbow (25), Cropchem (20), Syncrom (10).
