China Fertilizer Labelling Review

Introduction to Fertilizer Labelling in China

As the world's largest agricultural producer and consumer, China has increased its efforts to regulate the fertilizer industry and protect the environment. This has resulted in stricter fertilizer labeling requirements. Fertilizers marketed in China must comply with the requirements of China's compulsory national standard GB 18382-2021 Fertilizer Labelling-Representation and Declaration, which comes into effect on May 1, 2022. The standard specifies the information that needs to be included on fertilizer labels and packaging sold in China and also prohibits the use of certain claims and misleading statements. Failure to comply will result in fines or administrative penalties. Enterprises should have strict requirements for the management of fertilizer product packaging, cooperate with the filing and registration system, and quickly introduce fertilizer products to the market to ensure sustainable and stable development of enterprises.

Basic Principles of Fertilizer Labeling

We provide label review services to meet the following basic principles:

• All content marked on the label shall comply with relevant standards.
• All content marked on the label should be truthful, accurate, scientific, and easy to understand.
• All label content should not describe or introduce the fertilizer in a false, deceptive, exaggerated, inaccurate, or misleading manner. If claims go beyond providing nutrients, there should be sufficient credible evidence.
• All content marked on the label shall not cause users to confuse the fertilizer or a certain property of the fertilizer with another fertilizer by directly or indirectly suggestive language, graphics, or symbols, and shall not contain signs that cause users to confuse the products of different companies' content.
