食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊 據(jù)sciencedirec數(shù)據(jù)庫消息，近日《食品政策》（Food Policy）雜志刊登了一項有關蘋果和梨等水果農(nóng)殘限量法規(guī)對國際貿(mào)易影響的文章。

    本論文中，作者研究了農(nóng)藥最大殘留限量（MRLs）法規(guī)對蘋果、梨和相關加工產(chǎn)品的國際貿(mào)易影響，目的是了解法規(guī)的相似性和差異性對貿(mào)易的影響。本次研究顯示，各國的法規(guī)差異會阻礙國際貿(mào)易的進行。

    部分原文報道如下：

    In this paper we study the impact of the regulations on Maximum Residue Levels （MRLs） of pesticides on the trade of apples and pears and related processed products with the aim of understanding how their similarity （or dissimilarity） affect trade. Most studies investigate the impact of sanitary regulations introducing directly in the analysis the MRL put in force in the importing country.

    They introduce in the analysis the level of the regulation in the importing country without taking into account the rule in force in the exporting country. Rather than focusing on a particular pesticide we take into account the entire list of substances set out by the various regulations. We then build a similarity index and introduce it into a gravity equation to assess the impact of the differences in MRL of pesticides on trade. Results suggest that the differences between regulations matter and may, in some case, hinder trade.
