In this paper, we show that deciding whether a sparse polynomial does not divide another sparse polynomial exactly over finite fields is NP-hard under BPP many-one reductions. Equivalently, the sparse polynomial divisibility test over finite fields is CoNP-hard. This resolves the long-standing open problem concerning the computational complexity of the divisibility test for sparse polynomials in the setting of finite fields.
