Tridge summary

The Rural Development Administration of South Korea has set the Japanese residual tolerance standard for the pesticide hexaconazole, used to control anthracnose in peppers, after two years of collaboration with Japan's Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. This allows South Korean farmers to use hexaconazole in peppers for export to Japan, as Japan previously had no standard for this pesticide and its use was prohibited. The administration will distribute guidelines and provide education to farmers on the standard and safe use of hexaconazole. Since 2006, the Rural Development Administration has set 85 pesticide residue standards for 19 agricultural products exported to Japan and Taiwan.
