Recently, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs dispatched eight working groups to ten provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities—namely Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, and Yunnan—to conduct supervisory inspections on pesticide safety risk prevention. According to reports, these inspections focus on three key areas: first, assessing the safe use of pesticides at vegetable production bases in northern protected‑field systems and at “south-to-north vegetable transport” production sites, with particular attention paid to whether prohibited or restricted‑use pesticides are being employed; second, reviewing the implementation of safety‑production responsibilities by pesticide manufacturers, with an emphasis on high‑toxicity pesticide producers and enterprises posing significant safety risks; and third, inspecting pesticides…

Recently, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs dispatched eight working groups to 10 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities—Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, and Yunnan—to conduct supervisory inspections on the prevention and control of pesticide safety risks.

According to the briefing, this round of supervisory inspections on pesticide safety risk prevention primarily covers three key areas: First, inspect the safe use of pesticides at vegetable production bases in northern protected‑cultivation areas and at “south-to‑north vegetable transport” production bases, with a particular focus on whether prohibited or restricted‑use pesticides are being applied. Second, assess the implementation of safety‑production responsibilities by pesticide manufacturers, with special attention to high‑toxicity pesticide producers and enterprises posing significant safety risks. Third, review the safety‑prevention measures of pesticide retailers, with an emphasis on the safety protocols at designated outlets authorized to sell restricted‑use pesticides. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has issued a notice requiring the agricultural authorities of all provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the central government to strengthen accountability, conduct inspections of pesticide safety risks, and ensure the safe production, standardized marketing, and rational use of pesticides.
