The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) countries
(the U.S., Canada, and Mexico) are the world’s major consumers of biopesticides
and use up approximately 45% of all the globally sold biopesticides, while the
European Union uses 20%. In the U.S., Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
encourages the development and use of biopesticides. The Biopesticides and
Pollution Prevention Division (under the Pesticide Programs) was established to
facilitate the registration of biopesticides. Since biopesticides
tend to pose fewer risks than chemical pesticides, EPA generally requires much
fewer data to register a biopesticide than to register a conventional
pesticide. Data about the composition, toxicity, degradation, and other
characteristics of the pesticides are required to be submitted by the
registrants to EPA to make sure that a pesticide is safe. Often less than a
year is required to register a new biopesticide, compared with more than three
years for a chemical pesticide.
As demands in Canada for reduced pesticide use increased,
the government created new regulations and management practices. Research has
identified new biopesticides, and teams have accelerated their expansion. These
factors together have spurred a biopesticide revolution in Canada.
Other countries worldwide also are enacting similar changes
in their political and public views toward biopesticides and investment in
research. The difference is that Canada has capitalized on discovering the
solution to decrease pesticides and has approved biopesticides as a reliable
and peaceful replacement strategy. Canada thus provides a nice example for
other countries to follow in the future
Also, in the European Union (EU), recent legislation has
synchronized with the political will to reduce traditional chemical usage in
agriculture and increase biopesticides. The European ban on neonicotinoid
pesticides from 2013 to 2019 is driving many of the region’s growers to seek
biopesticide alternatives for protecting their crops. According to
Biopesticides Industry Alliance (BPIA), France, Denmark, and Sweden have
aggressively reduced overall agriculture chemical use by more than 30%. The
French government launched the “EcoPhyto Plan” in 2008 to reduce pesticides and
plant protection products in France by 50% till 2018.

In India, several government agencies such as the Ministry
of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, the Department of Biotechnology (DBT), and
the Ministry of Science and Technology have been promoting research,
development, and commercialization of biopesticides and biofertilizers. The
Government of India is giving a strong push to organic farming by providing
subsidies for new biofertilizer/ biopesticide units. The central government of
India provides grants in aid of INR 4.5 million for building and INR 2 million
for procuring equipment of biocontrol laboratories for the production of
biocontrol agents, including biopesticides, to state governments. It also
provides around INR 2 million for procuring equipment for biopesticides testing
laboratories. The requirement for registration of biopesticides has been
simplified to facilitate the introduction of biopesticides.
China has also realized that the use of pesticides has created
many problems. It has launched a new action plan, “Zero Growth on Chemical
Fertilizer and Pesticides by 2020,” to reduce pesticides and fertilizers. China
has also started a collaborative effort with the U.S. EPA on pollution issues,
and one outcome of this was adapting registration procedures to favor
biopesticides.
Thus, recognizing the ill effects of chemical pesticides
such as the development of pest resistance, pest resurgence, the outbreak of
secondary pests, pesticide residues in food, feed, fodder, soil, air, and water
resulting in human health hazards and ecological imbalances; most of the
countries throughout the world have amended their policies to minimize the use
of chemical pesticides and promote the use of the biopesticides. Such a
positive role of governments drives the growth of the biopesticides market
across the globe.
