Pesticide residues in the Philippines: an analytical perspective

Abstract

Pesticide regulation and pesticide residue monitoring have been pursued to varying degrees of success in the Philippines but implementation is considered inadequate. Improved regulation and implementation of policies for the monitoring of pesticide residues in foods and feeds are required for local and international trade. Farmers need education on pesticide use, handling, and the risks to humans and the environment. This should be coupled with stringent regulations for pesticide importation, formulation plants, storage, and monitoring of fields and plantations. © 1995.
