As Decree 202/2013 / ND-CP on fertilizer management in 2013 was born in the expectation of public opinion, it was disappointing. This Decree was presided by Department of Plant Protection (MARD). Modification, editing is subject to a lot of pressure on time, public opinion and the fatigue, suspicion of the business.

However, carefully study the draft Decree instead of 202 we find many new points, positive noticeable. Although there is still a lot of controversy between normative or categorical management, but in the context of time constraints (assuming duties in March 2017 and the Decree of June 2017) and not Having the same standards as the current standard, the flexible application of both standards and lists of PPD is quite reasonable.

Accordingly, if any product has national standard standards and then prioritized for use in accordance with normative standards, and for products that do not meet national standards and standards, they must be managed according to the list. Avoid cases like the current Decree 202, although the fertilizer regulations must comply with regulatory standards and regulatory standards, but there are no standards, national standards for each type of fertilizer leading to embarrassing , Difficulties in management, administration, inspection and supervision.

Next point is to create favorable conditions for businesses. The new Decree stipulates that all single products (nitrogenous, phosphorous, potassium), mixed fertilizers (DAP, MOP, MAP), NPK fertilizers with a total nutrient content of more than 18% will not be tested. Experimentation (except for products with new formulas, new additions as well as new plant varieties subject to testing).

Control of product packaging

A very new point in the Decree replacing the amendment of Decree 202 this time the PPD will directly with the scientific council in addition to the evaluation of the results of samples tested fertilizer will approve the package, name, How to use fertilizer before placing on the circulation list.

After that, these names and formulas will be publicized on the electronic information system so that the agencies can check and reconcile the processing when checking and checking. So, this rule will stop the business using the formula one by one, but packaging, the name of a sort of foolish way fool farmers.

Another technical barrier is that imported fertilizer products will also be examined and tested. However, in order to avoid damaging the business, importers are allowed to keep their stock at their own warehouse while waiting for fertilizer samples to be released for sale to the market. Time sampling, analysis and clearance are done quickly under the national one-door customs should not cause troubles for businesses.

The new regulation introduced in this decree is that businesses trading in fertilizers should be eligible. This will be the unit assigned the task of training, dissemination and licensing of agricultural material agents. Licensing is done only once so as not to cause trouble for the people, then the authorities only conduct inspection, inspection and post-inspection.
