Comparative Study Of Maximum Residue Limits Of Pesticides In Farm Products

Pesticide Residue is the toxicant remained on organisms, farm produces and the environment after using of pesticide. Pesticide Residue exceeding a certain range may harm the ecological system through food chain, thereby bringing negative effect on animals and human beings. At present, Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) is adopted worldwide to show the quantity of Pesticide Remainder and is taken as the measurement of farm produces' safety.The question of Pesticide Residue is not only tightly related to the health of one country's people but also taken as an important tool to protect local farm produces and to set major export obstacle for other country's farm produces. In this new era, the sustainable development of our country's agriculture, safety of primary farm produce, security of the environment demand the establishment of measurement system of Pesticide Residue.According to the comparatively analysis of the establishing principle and process of MRLs of China, CAC, EU, US, Canada, Japan and some international organizations, present thesis focuses on the comparison of the limits set by our country's major trade partners to Pesticide Residue of several farm produces, which project great influence on our country's import and export trade. In order to effectively protect public health and further the sustainable development of our country's agriculture, the author expects to provide academic advice for the establishment of our country's Pesticide Residue measurement system, by way of finding out the flaws of our country's MRLs on the basis of comparing MRLs of different countries and analytical study of the trade disputes concerning MRLs.
