The petition of 700 organisations forming a network to push for a ban on the use of hazardous agricultural chemicals in Thailand was received yesterday by Mr Krisada Boonraj, the Minister for Agriculture and Cooperatives, on behalf of the Thai Prime Minister.
Thai PAN has published the results of their second round of testing on chemical pesticide residues for 2016. It found that just over half the samples of fruit and vegetables tested contained chemical pesticide residues.
