摘要

Ensuring food safety is a challenging task that requires the identification and strengthening of weak links throughout the food production chain. Farmers can demonstrate that products comply with Codex maximum limits if laboratory results of pesticide residues in fresh fruits and vegetables are produced according to the requirements of ISO/IEC17025. In 2005, the Republic of Panama initiated an IAEA technical cooperation project that aimed to establish a quality-assured laboratory for the analysis of pesticide residues in agricultural products.
