Trade risks arising from pesticide application leaving residues in mango fruits for export was discussed based on the usage pattern and pre-harvest interval as indicated in the label. The case of chlorpyrifos and cypermethrin residues on mango exports to Japan was discussed based on good agricultural practice (GAP), pesticide degradation pattern, residues as a result of farmer pesticide management and export destinations. Information on maximum residue limits (MRL) for a number of pesticides used in mango were compared to those for other export destinations aside from Japan. With adequate information on the pesticide management scheme of the producers, the consolidators, traders and exporters can choose export destinations based on MRL requirements of the different countries to reduce risks of rejection due to non-compliance with MRLs. Non-biased sampling for residue analysis prior to export is absolutely important. Equally important are increased analytical capability in terms of personnel expertise and equipment of government and private laboratories to analyze residues of frequently used and new chemistry pesticides, and for the Pesticide Industry to monitor use, reduce off-label uses of their products and enforce compliance of the farmers with GAP. The need for locally generated residue data for mango to increase the residue information database in the ASEAN Region for possible ASEAN MRL or Codex MRL was emphasized.
