Recently, the 10th National Food Safety Supervision information Exchange Conference and the National Food Industry High-quality Development (Chengde) Conference was held.

She said that the revised agricultural product quality safety law added new contents including all small farmers under supervision, "detention" penalties for the use of banned drugs, the first clear penalties for exceeding the standard of conventional drug residues, and the implementation of the promised standard certification system. The new law has been implemented for more than nine months, and these new regulations have been implemented.

In response to the widespread concern about pesticide residues, she pointed out that the use of prohibited drugs and the detection of conventional drugs are two types of problems of different nature. For banned drugs, eight highly toxic pesticides have been newly banned in the past five years, and a total of 58 kinds have been banned. "We have strengthened the management of agricultural and veterinary drug stores, and implemented the fixed-point operation, counter sales and real-name purchase of highly toxic pesticides. Pesticide stores must register the information of buyers and crops used." The residues of conventional drugs exceed the standard, make a list of drugs that are easy to exceed the standard, promote colloidal gold rapid detection technology of conventional drugs, and vigorously promote the use of green low-toxicity agricultural and veterinary drugs while strictly listing agricultural products. "We have accelerated the improvement of the standard system. There are 13,800 standards for agricultural and veterinary drugs, 7,570 more than five years ago, and the standard of residue limits is more than 90 percent consistent with the Codex Alimentarius CAC."
