Summary
Agro-chemical firms urge government to protect regulatory data in a new bill. This protection would encourage new pesticide molecule development and introduction. Companies seek a five-year exclusive access window for newly registered molecules. Such a framework aims to boost farm productivity and export competitiveness. International comparisons show other nations offer similar data protection periods.
