Comprehensively improve the level of legalization of pesticide supervision

The "Regulations on the Administration of Pesticides" (hereinafter referred to as the new "Regulations") have been revised and passed at the executive meeting of the State Council and will be implemented on June 1 this year
.
The new "Regulations" unified the entire supervision of pesticides to the agricultural sector
.
This unprecedented reform of the management system is a great test for the agricultural sector
.
A comprehensive understanding of the new normal of pesticide supervision, efforts to improve the ability to perform duties according to law, and innovation to drive the healthy development of the industry are the primary tasks of agricultural departments at all levels
.
1.
Accurately grasp the new normal of pesticide supervision (1) The new normal of performing duties according to law
.
The new "Regulations" provide a strong system to follow and guarantee the rule of law for pesticide supervision.
A series of supporting regulations and management systems will be introduced intensively.
The supervision of the rule of law focusing on strict supervision and law enforcement will be fully carried out.
Constraints continue to strengthen
.
This has brought new tests and pressures to the administrative capacity and behavioral norms of the agricultural sector
.
(2) The new normal is the integration of new and old business formats
.
With the progress of large-scale agriculture and the rapid development of the information economy, profound changes have taken place in the production and operation of pesticides
.
New pesticide business forms such as pesticide e-commerce, full-process solutions, and drone spraying continue to emerge, which are organically integrated with traditional methods, which inject new vitality into the development of the industry, but also bring new contradictions, new problems, and new risks to traditional supervision.
Ways and means bring new and great challenges
.
(3) The new normal of improving the quality and efficiency of the industry
.
In the face of industrial policy restrictions, environmental protection and high pressure on energy conservation, the pesticide industry has begun in-depth changes and adjustments in terms of product structure and technology
.
The concept of corporate development is shifting towards sustainable development, and new varieties of high-efficiency and safety are constantly emerging.
Mergers and reorganizations, and cross-border integration are accelerating the process of industrial scale
.
The entire industry has entered a new normal of improving quality and efficiency
.
Make full use of the "hands" of government management to guide and inspire greater vitality of market entities, and the agricultural sector is duty-bound
.
However, whether our sense of responsibility, professionalism, and service capabilities are up to the task of promoting the transformation and upgrading of the industry and sustainable development is an urgent issue that the agricultural sector needs to answer.

.
(4) The public is paying unprecedented attention to the new normal
.
With economic development and the improvement of living standards, people have higher and higher requirements for the quality and safety of agricultural products.
Among the many factors that affect the quality and safety of agricultural products, the issue of agricultural residues has become a highly sensitive social hot issue
.
From Hainan poisonous cowpea, Shandong poisonous ginger, to watermelon enlargement agent, strawberry acetochlor incident, etc.
, this kind of public attention and highly anticipated situation is not only an inevitable reflection of social development, but also aggravated our sense of responsibility in fulfilling our mission
.
2.
Innovation to promote the effectiveness of pesticide supervision (1) Guided by the rule of law thinking, improve supporting regulations
.
Focus on the implementation of pesticide production, business licensing system, high-toxic and high-risk pesticide supervision, pesticide risk monitoring, etc.
, and formulate specific supporting regulations as soon as possible
.
At the same time, in terms of on-site inspections of production and operation, market supervision and spot checks, and training and assessment of practitioners, standards, procedures, and processes have been reengineered
.
Ensure that every work of pesticide supervision has laws to follow, rules to follow, and rules to abide by, and continuously improve the level of administration according to law
.
(2) Improve the supervisory system with the implementation of responsibilities as the starting point
.
While promoting the implementation of the responsibility of the territorial government, it is important to take the initiative to implement departmental regulatory responsibilities and supervise the implementation of corporate responsibilities
.
The agricultural department is the main body of pesticide supervision and law enforcement in the whole process.
It must be determined to take the lead and earnestly fulfill its responsibility and conscientious responsibility
.
Through perfecting the system, strict law enforcement, and perfecting the punishment mechanism for untrustworthiness, the users of production and operation are forced to work in accordance with the law and not to cross the legal red line
.
(3) Solve the regulatory difficulties with the outstanding problems as the guide
.
The current focus of pesticide supervision is on the market, the difficulty lies in the use, and the key lies in the source
.
It is necessary to integrate the pesticide market through strict access conditions, and gradually solve the problem of large, small, scattered, and chaotic business units
.
In view of the current situation of agricultural production methods and drug-using groups, starting with large-scale pesticide users, starting with highly toxic pesticides, strengthening medication guidance, and exploring the pesticide use certificate system
.
Ensure product quality and drug safety by paying equal attention to source license management and process control
.
(4) Taking demonstration and creation as the carrier, leading the overall development
.
It is necessary to make use of pesticide supervision projects, focusing on the management of production and operation licenses, designated operation and use of highly toxic and restricted pesticides, and waste recycling and disposal, etc.
, take the lead, vigorously promote the innovation of pesticide supervision systems and mechanisms, and boldly explore effective supervision Models and measures
.
We will comprehensively improve the level of legalization and standardization of pesticide supervision through point-to-face and innovation-driven management
.
3.
Efforts to greatly improve the ability of pesticide supervision (1) Improve the institutional system to ensure that there are people doing things
.
The establishment and staffing of the existing pesticide management agencies in the province are configured on the basis of the original functions, and are no longer suitable for the new situation and new functional requirements of pesticide supervision
.
It is necessary to take advantage of the introduction of the new "Regulations" to actively strive to improve the regulatory agencies, enrich the supervisory personnel, implement the supervision funds, and ensure that they have responsibilities, positions, people, and means to effectively perform supervisory duties
.
(2) Strengthen personnel training and ensure professional officers
.
The special attributes of pesticides determine that pesticide supervision is different from general commodity management
.
With the division of pesticide supervision functions, the problem of unprofessional supervision teams has further intensified, and the shortage of professional and high-level compound talents
.
It is necessary to combine the reform of the pesticide management system, actively strive for support, strengthen the introduction and training of talents, optimize the team structure, and enhance the professionalism of the supervision team
.
(3) Strengthen supervision methods to ensure efficient management
.
There are more than 60 production companies and more than 30,000 distribution units in Hunan.
It is difficult to find existing problems and to achieve efficient supervision by only relying on general means such as watching, hearing, checking, and checking qualifications
.
It is necessary to speed up the construction of pesticide license management and pesticide quality traceability platform, comprehensively promote pesticide electronic supervision and improve management efficiency
.
At the same time, we will strengthen the construction of inspection and testing capabilities, and strengthen the testing methods and technologies such as hidden component screening and confirmation of unknown risk factors to ensure that they can meet the needs of supervision
.
(4) The use of deep chemical law to ensure that affairs are handled in accordance with the law
.
The agricultural department is the main unit of pesticide management and law enforcement.
Laws and regulations are the basic principles and requirements of pesticide supervision.
It must be lawful in words and law-abiding in deeds
.
It is necessary to integrate resources, innovate carriers, and vigorously carry out the promotion and implementation of the new "Regulations" to form a momentum and create an atmosphere
.
At the same time, consciously strengthen the study of the new "Regulations", achieve internalization in the heart, externalization in the action, and take up the important task of comprehensively improving the level of legalization of pesticide supervision and forge ahead
