Crop Inputs

Policy Statement: The Canadian Canola Growers Association supports the harmonization of International pesticide regulations and maximum residue limits.

Registration

CCGA supports the current pesticide registration process in Canada. We work closely with other organizations, including the Pest Management Regulatory Agency, to ensure that grower interests are considered in all policy issues related to pesticides and that harmonization with the U.S. remains a priority.

GROU Program

The Grower’s Own Use Program is administered by the Pest Management Regulatory Agency. It allows farmers to import the U.S. version of Canadian registered products. GROU products must be purchased and imported by growers for their own use on their land, and for that growing season only. CCGA is a member of the GROU nomination committee charged with selecting candidate products for consideration by PMRA on an annual basis.
