Distributors and retailers of agrochemicals have traditional regulatory roles and obligations, including those for their labels. Their particular niches are in off-patent crop protection products, proprietary plant nutrition products, and proprietary tank-mixed adjuvant products. There will be large shifts in the future on how these products are placed in the market, due to analytics, technologies, customer needs, evolving regulation, new markets, and especially a universal desire to reduce chemical applications. Such shifts will affect the strategies, requirements, and underlying processes for those authoring labels in the distribution and retail role.
