Benefit for THAILAND

9

The project helped DOA, THAILAND on providing both theoretical and practical experiences in conducting field trials, laboratory analysis by practice, inlife learning techniques and know-how of GLP studies. It improved the capability of DOA to generate quality data for establishing an MRL based on international guidelines (e.g., OECD-GLP, EPA-GLP, FAO Manuals).

Benefit for THAILAND

• to the farmer sector of THAILAND with GAP, PHI. Label
• to promote trade on the Thai agricultural produces
• to government sector (knowledge, networking, good quality data set)
• to region (Adopted as ASEAN MRLs)

ASEAN Member States (AMSs)

ASEAN Member States (AMSs) also learned and shared experience on the coordination of work sharing and capacity building efforts among AMSs, between government regulatory officials, laboratory, and field technicians, as well as pesticides industries.

​

Global

This project help improves the trade opportunities and reduce the notification rates from importing country for better trade of THAILAND produces.

​

Thailand new regulation update.

• Current licenses 4,700, 117 fomulations
• Registration of novel compounds around 108 licenses
• Pre-approved biopesticides; BT, NPV, Protosua

Bio-pesticide that have been registered in Thailand
