In 2013, 83.6% of Chinese pesticides met the minimum quality standard, according to a MoA report which outlined results taken from the second part of MoA’s quality monitoring initiative on pesticide products. This figure was down from 87.3% in the same period in 2012, a statistic which is indicative of MoA’s heightened regulatory supervision. A total of 3404 samples and 3417 labels from 2145 distributors and 998 manufacturers were tested. MoA found that 2846 samples met quality standards but 26% of labels were incorrectly labeled. These products have been registered for various crops, including soybean, maize, rice, wheat, fruit tree, vegetable, tea and cotton, etc.
