Release Date:

2019-05-21

The CPC Central Committee and the State Council have issued Opinions on Deepening Reform and Strengthening Food Safety Work. The document emphasizes strict oversight of the production and use of agricultural inputs, calling for rigorous enforcement of regulations governing the manufacture and application of pesticides, veterinary drugs, feed additives, and other agricultural inputs. It prohibits the use of any agricultural inputs explicitly banned by the state and mandates the implementation of designated-point sales and real-name purchase systems. Furthermore, the scope of bans on highly toxic pesticides will be gradually expanded to cover all food‑producing crops. The document also calls for the full implementation of record‑keeping systems for agricultural production and operation, as well as for the use of agricultural inputs, and urges farmers to strictly adhere to prescribed safety intervals for pesticides and withdrawal periods for veterinary drugs, thereby preventing excessive residues of these substances in food products.
