New Pathway Speeds Up Agri-Chemical and Vet Medicine Registration NZ & Australia

The New Zealand Government has introduced a pilot program allowing agri-chemical and veterinary medicine companies to register products in both New Zealand and Australia through a single process, reducing duplication. This streamlined approach maintains safety and effectiveness standards while accelerating approvals, benefiting farmers and veterinarians by providing faster access to new products. The initiative follows a bilateral agreement aimed at enhancing primary sector access to agricultural compounds and veterinary medicines in both countries.
