The National Commission for the Registration and Control of Toxic Substances (CNRCST) published in La Gaceta, Official Gazette No. 169, on Thursday, September 10, 2026, seven registration edicts for agricultural insecticides and fungicides of Chinese origin. The products, requested by four companies, are authorized for commercialization within the national territory once legal requirements are met.

The edicts are issued in accordance with Law No. 941, “Law Creating the National Commission for the Registration and Control of Toxic Substances,” and Law No. 274, “Basic Law for the Regulation and Control of Pesticides, Toxic, Dangerous, and Other Similar Substances,” and its Regulation “Decree 49-98.” The documents are signed by the president of the CNRCST, María Auxiliadora Díaz Castillo, and the executive secretary, Eng. Yelba de los A. López González, with the intervention of the lawyer and notary Fátima del Socorro Ruíz Obando.

Legal framework and scope

The edicts, identified by references COM-ED-088-08-2026, COM-ED-089-08-2026, COM-ED-090-08-2026, COM-ED-092-08-2026, COM-ED-093-08-2026, COM-ED-094-08-2026, and COM-ED-095-09-2026, were signed in Managua between August 18 and September 2, 2026. In all cases, the CNRCST authorizes publication in any written medium of national circulation, after verifying that the applicants submitted the required documentation.

The expansion of the catalog of registered agrochemicals increases the offer of phytosanitary inputs available to the national agricultural sector, within a context of growing presence of Chinese suppliers in the pesticide market. For producers and distributors, official registration guarantees that the products comply with current toxic substance control regulations before their use in crops.
