The proportion of highly toxic pesticides used has dropped to 2%

With the improvement of people's living standards, people now have higher and higher requirements for the safety and quality of agricultural products, especially the supervision of the use of pesticides and veterinary drugs in planting and breeding industries
.
What specific measures does the Ministry of Agriculture have in this regard, and what measures will it take in the next step to further improve the quality and safety of agricultural products, and continue to meet the increasingly escalating consumer demand of consumers? Han Changfu: The quality and safety of agricultural products will be held every year at the press conference.
Friends from the reporter asked questions
.
I answered this question on the morning of the 5th in the ministerial channel
.
I want to say in general that the overall situation is good, but there are still many problems, so we cannot relax
.
The people are highly concerned about the quality and safety of agricultural products, so the agricultural department has the responsibility to do this work well
.
The issue of pesticide and veterinary drug residues you just mentioned is indeed an outstanding issue.
I want to talk about this issue
.
Regarding pesticide and veterinary drug residues, they mainly occur in the planting and breeding links, and some of them occur in the circulation links, such as the illegal addition of fish, and some are in the transportation link
.
In this regard, we are taking several measures, and we must increase our efforts in the next step
.
First, pay close attention to the management of highly toxic pesticides
.
In the past few years, 39 kinds of highly toxic pesticides have been banned, and 12 kinds of pesticides have to be restricted for use on non-food crops
.
Now, the proportion of highly toxic pesticides used has dropped from 35% at the beginning of this century to 2%
.
The next step will be based on the principle of "one forbidden, one forbidden when the time is right".
Now there are three more to be eliminated that have been included in the plan in the past two years
.
Some say, why can't it be eliminated right away? Because there are some pests, such as underground pests, such as cash crops, non-edible crops, including forest pests, and sometimes such drugs are needed
.
Therefore, to strengthen research and development, there must be substitutes
.
Second, it is necessary to increase inspections for excessive pesticide and veterinary drug residues in vegetable production bases, implement a market access system, and increase source management
.
Now we are promoting rational and scientific use of medicines by producers in major production counties of "vegetable basket", and at the same time, we are promoting specialized unified defense control.

.
Third, pay close attention to "three fishes and two medicines
.
" Carry out special rectification for malachite green and nitrofuran, and strictly investigate and crack down on illegal use
.
Looking at it now, it is mainly used in long-distance transportation of fish.
Because we have a consumption habit, everyone is willing to eat live fish.
Long-distance transportation of live fish is prone to death, so some operators add illegally
.
Generally speaking, the situation is developing in a good direction
.
Fourth, pay close attention to the use of antibiotics
.
To carry out the five-year comprehensive management of veterinary drugs and antibacterial drugs nationwide, it is necessary to promote the two-dimensional code, veterinary drug prescription and drug withdrawal period system
.
Fifth, continue to rigorously investigate and crack down on "Clenbuterol", find one, crack down together
.
In the next step, we will focus on promoting the "three modernizations" in terms of agricultural product quality and safety
.
One is to promote standardized production
.
The second is to pay close attention to full-process supervision
.
The third is to promote brand building
.
Especially in the main body of large-scale operation, the first to promote standardized production
.
