Pesticide Residues are used extensively across a range of crops, including fruits. These are used with the goal of maintaining high-quality produce by controlling disease and pest impacts on crops. Through good farming practises levels of pesticide residues are usually low and under safe levels. Yet as farmers come under increasing pressure to satisfy growing demand for more expensive products such as olive oils, poor farming practices may increase levels of pesticide residues exposed to consumers. This must be controlled through the use of effective quality control measures.
