MRL Changes in the Global Marketplace: Why They Matter & How to Track Them

Co-hosted by the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance, California Association of Winegrape Growers and Wine Institute.

Regulatory uncertainty surrounding changing international Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) for crop protection materials is a significant challenge for U.S. agriculture. This is especially true for wine, since wineries that export may not know where the final wine will be sold and wine’s long shelf-life is often not considered in the regulatory environment.

This webinar offers insights on MRL changes, their impacts on trade in export markets, how international MRL changes affect domestic winegrowers, and tools and tactics for tracking and responding to MRL changes.
