Quality safety of tropical agricultural produce has become one of the bottlenecks for economic development in tropical China. Problems of products quality safety in tropical agricultural sector in the country are mainly pollution from pesticides, particularly heavy metals and chemical fertilizers in the production process, and higher residues from preservatives and packing materials in post-harvest handling process. Incapability of institutions in products quality safety inspection and examination as well as the lacking of strict market entrance permit are believed to be the major causes of the problems in addition to poor awareness of various stakeholders.
