RMTP has completed an extensive pesticide residual test involving 12 different vegetable samples. The primary objective of this test was to assess the presence of potentially harmful pesticide residues in the produce under examination. These tests encompassed vegetables cultivated by the project-supported farmers as well as those collected from farmers excluding of the project.
The results of this investigation have generated optimism, as none of the samples from the project-supported farmers tested positive for any harmful pesticide residues. However, harmful pesticide residues were detected from the vegetables outside the project. The positive aspect of this development is that farmers participating in the safe vegetable production initiative are now higher prices for their crops compared to the past.
