Stay Ahead of Crop Material Protection Regulations

EU’s Goal to Reduce Substances by 50% Will Impact Export Market

Crop protection material rules are among the most challenging compliance regulations in the world and they can create difficult and market-altering rules for U.S. wine exports. In fact, the EU recently set a goal of at least 50% reduction of crop protection substances by 2030, which may have significant impacts on crop protection materials that can be used in grape growing in the U.S.
 
With a wide range of Maximum Residue Level (MRL) rulemakings currently in target markets across the globe already, there are hundreds more expected in the coming years. These regulations can dictate whether or not an entire vintage can be exported to certain regions.
 
With the support of a USDA grant, Wine Institute has partnered with global market access firm Bryant Christie to provide customized, easy-to-access and timely reports with detailed analyses on established and pending MRLs in key export markets. If you are exporting your wines, this is important information — with active ingredient trade names, mode of action, usage, residues and whether a substance is included in a foreign market’s monitoring program.
