In order to strengthen the control of pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables, the Changhua County Government has cooperated with the Pesticide Residue Mass Spectrometry Rapid Testing Laboratory of Tunghai University Pitou Campus to provide free testing of 15 high-risk crops. Farmers can submit the tests and get the results as soon as the same day before deciding whether to put them on the market. County Councilor Wu Weida pointed out that about 140 of the 1,286 rapid inspections failed, with a failure rate of 11%. The county government should not only look at the pass rate, but should also explain whether all unqualified agricultural products were intercepted before being put on the market. This is the result that consumers are most concerned about and concerned about.
The county government released pesticide rapid inspection data. Wu Weida, a technician, said that the pass rate was 89%. However, looking at it from another perspective, more than 10% of agricultural products still failed to pass the inspection, showing that farmers still cannot accurately grasp the safe harvest period and residue time of pesticides.
He said that rapid inspection can prevent agricultural products from being returned after being sent to agricultural products transportation and marketing companies, reducing farmers' time and cost losses. Therefore, this policy is worthy of recognition. However, the current inspection volume in Changhua only accounts for about 5% of the country. Considering that Changhua is a major agricultural county, the inspection volume and publicity and promotion should be strengthened.
In this regard, Director of Agriculture Guo Zhishan said that mass spectrometry rapid inspection is a preventive independent inspection of crops before they are put on the market. If they are found to be unqualified, they will be asked to postpone harvesting and can only be sold after passing the re-inspection. Related crops will also be included in high-risk tracking, and there will be no charge for re-inspection. At the same time, in order to facilitate farmers to send for inspection nearby, there are 21 collection points of farmers' associations, fruit and vegetable cooperatives and cooperative farms in the county. In the future, they will also strengthen the promotion of medication safety and safe harvest period to help farmers establish correct concepts of medication use.
