No results found.FAO’s Plant Production and Protection Division (NSP) and the FAO Regional project entitled “Enhancing Capacity in Codex for Effective Participation and Contribution of Selected Countries in Asia (GCP/RAS/278/JPN)”, FAO Office for Asia and the Pacific (FAORAP) jointly organized the regional workshop entitled “Pesticide residue risk assessment and the elaboration of Codex Maximum Residue Limits”. The objectives of the workshop were to provide participants with: • to strengthen the capabilities of participating countries in evaluation of residue data; • to update their knowledge of the assessment of risks associated with dietary exposure of pesticide residues; and • to upgrade the capacity of participating countries in establishment of Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) in food and feed.A total of 23 officials in charge of pesticide residue risk assessment from eleven Asian countries (Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Malaysia, Pakistan Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Viet Nam) participated in the workshop, with technical input provided by Dr Yukiko Yamada, JMPR expert, and Dr Guibiao Ye, FAO JMPR secretariat.The workshop evaluation results revealed that the participants were satisfied and gave excellent ratings for the workshop quality. The knowledge obtained from this workshop was considered very useful for their work. This workshop has enhanced their understanding on how Codex elaborates Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) for pesticides in food and feed, data required for elaboration of Codex MRLs, as well as, How the FAO Panel of JMPR (responsible for residue data evaluation) evaluates information for estimating of maximum residue levels and calculation of dietary exposure. The group exercises provided an opportunity for the participants to conduct this evaluation. The workshop also raised awareness of the importance of data contribution from Codex members as participants requested the project to organize workshop related to data submission to JMPR for evaluation to establishment of Codex MRLs. -
BookletFAO pesticide residue monitoring project for Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries. Situation Assessment
Meeting Report, 25 August 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) recognises the need for a comprehensive framework for pesticide residue risk management through science-based risk assessment, management and communication. FAO and Codex Alimentarius Members also recognize that a sound pesticide residue risk management framework does not only rely on residue monitoring, but also includes pesticide registration, chemical control-of-use, traceback investigation and a chemical review process. Moreover, there is an increasing focus on harmonisation of the pesticide management framework, including the setting of maximum residue limits. Noting the broad spectrum of pesticide residue risk management frameworks present in the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries, FAO recognises the need to develop a guidance document to assist countries in establishing such a framework through appropriate residue monitoring initiatives, traceback review, farm level education and pesticide use review. In order for FAO to assist ASEAN country participants via guidance documents, it is necessary to determine the current situation in the ten countries to better understand the needs, gaps and opportunities. The FAO project team arranged an initial virtual meeting with a view to encouraging open constructive discussion between FAO and participating countries. This report sets out the key information obtained from the 25 August 2020 Situation Assessment virtual meeting that presented the background to the FAO Pesticide residue monitoring project for ASEAN countries and asked four introductory questions of the participants designed to obtain information about the current situation with respective national residue monitoring initiatives. -
