8 Inappropriate farm registration system Pesticide spray after sampling ! Improper sampling system for analysis Some consignments sent by traders Lack of awareness / training Rapid changes in MRL values by E U Lack of sophisticated laboratory equipment Method of laboratory analysis ? WHAT HAPPENED IN 2003 …!

9 Registration, record keeping & monitoring of farms Streaming of sampling procedure, clear documentation Product standardisation & inspection strengthened Implementation of private standards Exports only from recognized pack-houses Method of analysis as per AOAC/Codex by ISO-17025/NABL compliant labs. Setting up of NRL for periodic checks and alerts Regular training programmes for all concerned THE MITIGATION MECHANISM
