Testing <strong>of</strong> chemical residues in agricultural products
Testing for chemical residues in agricultural products is new for Lao PDR which all staff are
currently trained for both technical terms and laboratory equipments. Testing for chemical residues
in crops was made at <strong>the</strong> farmer’s fields in Vientiane Capital and some vegetables in <strong>the</strong> local
markets <strong>of</strong> Vientiane Capital were randomly tested. Testing activities have been carried out in limit
aspects since <strong>the</strong> laboratory and its equipments in Plant Protection Center are considered as basic
tools with capacity <strong>of</strong> testing only 2 groups <strong>of</strong> pesticides such as Carbamate and Organophosphate.
Use and distribution <strong>of</strong> pesticides in Lao PDR
All pesticides used in Lao PDR are imported from nearby countries such as Thailand,
Viet Nam and China. The pesticides imported for distribution comprise <strong>of</strong> pesticide, fungicide and
herbicide with increasing price when distributed in <strong>the</strong> agricultural shops, retail shops at <strong>the</strong> villages
and at <strong>the</strong> market. Pesticides are distributed to farmers in three channels:
A. Distribution by companies and farms: Pesticides popularly applied for only some kinds <strong>of</strong>
vegetables are imported and directly distributed to regular clients by distributors and <strong>the</strong>se pesticides
are only applied for high-price vegetables such as tomatoes, chili, radish, and water melon.
B. Distribution by agricultural inputs distributors: Pesticides are imported and distributed to <strong>the</strong>
agricultural inputs distributors and later distributed to farmers.
