The biological products market has been building up over the last few years. The sector is on track to become a major factor in global agriculture.

BPIA members participated in the first PRIA Coalition Quarterly Stakeholder Meeting of 2020. As a result of the coronavirus pandemic, the entire meeting was conducted remotely.

Rather than hold an in-person meeting, the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB) will hold its Spring 2020 meeting online via public webinar on April 29-30, 2020. Along with some of our members, BPIA will provide oral comments during the pubic webinar on behalf of the biological products industry.

We hope you and your loved ones are staying safe and healthy during these unprecedented circumstances. We have not received any reports of any of our 2020 Annual Meeting attendees becoming infected with COVID-19.

As part of the BPIA 2019 Members Fall Fly-In, the BPIA Government Affairs Committee (GAC) led representatives from numerous BPIA member companies in dozens of meetings on Capitol Hill.

BPIA is excited to hold its 2019 Members Fall Fly-In to talk about biological products including biostimulants and biopesticides on Capitol Hill.

BPIA holds its largest meeting ever in Portland, Oregon including a symposium focused on biopesticides, biostimulants, and transforming the supply chain to recognize the importance of biological products.

The new legislation reauthorizes PRIA through 2023. BPIA is thrilled that this bill has become law, re-establishing predictable timeframes in the biopesticides registration process and providing EPA with the resources it needs.
