The NFF recognises that there are initiatives in place in attempt to remedy the lack of incentives under the current Federal mandatory regulations for minor use permits. The NFF is particularly supportive of the work of the Agricultural Chemical Access Priorities Forum, which has resulted in the APVMA, government and industry working together to establish crop groupings to simplify the registration of minor use chemicals and through migration permits to labels. This approach provides a legal regulated pathway for producers to gain access to chemicals forminor use.
