Pesticide real-name registration is here, so be careful about buying pesticides freely
When we sell vegetables at the market, we always hear all kinds of news: "This vegetable looks so good, it must have been sprayed with lots of pesticides. You can't buy it and you can't eat it." "Let me tell you, after you buy this vegetable and take it home, you have to wash it this way and soak it that way, and then..."
These days the internet has no shortage of anything, especially things like "How to tell whether vegetables have been sprayed with pesticides," "A 20-year housewife teaches you how to properly wash vegetables," "Exclusive exposé: these vegetables were actually sprayed with highly toxic pesticides! You can't eat them!" and so on.
Not only does this make people uneasy when they eat, it also spreads panic everywhere -"These grains and vegetables are impossible to eat! Life is hard!”
Quality problems with agricultural products happen again and again, and most of them are caused by improper pesticide use by a small number of growers during agricultural production. This makes people distrust agricultural products,they do not dare to eat them, and feel they cannot eat them!
Speaking of it, the pesticide quality problem in agricultural products is all a matter of one chain. Pesticide manufacturers produce illegally, sellers buy indiscriminately, producers buy indiscriminately, and in the end customers cannot buy with confidence. In this chain, no one should say it is all someone else's fault. If everyone guards their own patch of land and carefully controls their own quality, I believe such incidents will be much fewer.
Today we will not talk about the other parts of this chain, but will focus on this part: the buying and selling of pesticides.
When it comes to pesticides, the first reaction is definitely that they are toxic! In particular, some pesticides contain highly toxic substances, and in the process of agricultural production we sometimes need to buy and use this highly toxic type of pesticide. Under such circumstances, some problems arise. For example, some producers deliberately want to buy highly toxic pesticides to solve many pests and weeds all at once, and many highly toxic pesticides tend to remain on vegetables, fruits and so on, causing customers to be poisoned when they take them home and eat them.
In the past, if you wanted to sell pesticides, it was very easy. You just went straight to an agricultural supply store and bought them. The shop owner would not ask much. If you wanted to buy, I would sell. It was a clean, straightforward transaction, and it also cleanly and straightforwardly created many consequences caused by buying and selling pesticides at will. Suicides by drinking pesticides and so on need not be discussed further.
But now, the editor only wants to say one thing: it is different! Just like the lyrics in that song -We are different! Different!"Now the buying and selling of pesticides is different from before!
Now pesticides (including highly toxic pesticides) must be sold at designated locations, sold through dedicated counters, purchased with real names, and managed through traceability.
What are the benefits of doing this?
It is very simple: to avoid illegal sales and use of pesticides, standardise the pesticide purchasing system, monitor counterfeit and inferior pesticides, facilitate legal supervision and so on, and ensure that in the future we can buy agricultural products with confidence and eat them with peace of mind, rather than each holding a phone and, looking at agricultural products grown over decades, crying to our little ones: "Look, life in the old days was better! The sky was blue, the water was clear, and the food was all pure and natural."
