Background
The Directorate General of Agronomy at the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries provides public services for applying for agricultural certificates, permits, and licenses.
MAFF’s digital application portal supports eight document types, including certificates for fertilizer and pesticide products, warehouse registration certificates, distribution permits, and permits for mixing or repackaging operations. The online request system is accessible via maff.gov.kh and services.maff.gov.kh and consolidates the formal application channels for the listed authorizations.
Scope of Application
The digital service covers applications and requests for the following categories of agricultural regulatory documents: (1) fertilizer product certificates; (2) fertilizer warehouse registration certificates; (3) permits to supply or distribute fertilizers; (4) permits to operate mixing or repackaging of fertilizers; (5) pesticide product certificates; (6) pesticide warehouse registration certificates; (7) permits to supply or distribute pesticides; and (8) permits to operate mixing or repackaging of pesticides. Applicants must use the MAFF web portal addresses specified by the ministry to submit requests.
Key Provisions or Decisions
On 26 June 2026 the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries announced the operational launch of online application services for the enumerated certificates and permits. The announcement identifies maff.gov.kh and services.maff.gov.kh as the official channels for submission and processing of applications related to fertilizer and pesticide regulatory authorizations.
Implications for Investors, Businesses, or Compliance
Businesses and regulatory compliance units should register or use MAFF’s online portals when applying for the listed agricultural permits and certificates to align with the ministry’s designated submission channels. Records of which document types are accepted online will be relevant for licensing workflows, supplier compliance checks, and audit trails associated with fertilizer and pesticide distribution or repackaging operations.
