EU Reset Impact on Plant Protection Products - What SPS Alignment Could Mean

In this episode, Hazel Doonan, AIC Head of Crop Protection and Agronomy, takes a closer look at the implications of the UK–EU reset for Great Britain’s crop production and supply chains. The conversation explains, in clear and practical terms, how proposed Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) alignment could affect the approval and availability of plant protection products (PPPs), changes to maximum residue levels (MRLs), and what this means for growers, agronomists and distributors across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. This episode is ideal for listeners involved in UK agricultural supply chains who needs to understand how evolving UK–EU regulatory relationships may affect practical farming decisions. For those looking for further guidance and timely updates on this evolving situation, additional resources are available through AIC Member Communications and the AIC website.
