This Plan sets out China’s sectoral strategy for improving the quality, variety and safety of agricultural products during the 15th Five-Year period and toward 2030. It aims to balance production quantity with quality, safety, nutrition and diversity. By 2030, it targets a routine agricultural product safety monitoring compliance rate above 98% and 130,000 green, organic, specialty and geographical indication agricultural products. The Plan prioritizes meeting consumer demand for safer, more nutritious and higher-quality food, advancing standardization and green production, strengthening quality-based market orientation, and establishing a market-driven system for quality evaluation and grading. The core measures described include a comprehensive agricultural standardization and standards-upgrade programme, with targets such as 500 pesticide and veterinary drug residue standards and 1,500 national or sectoral standards, construction of standard verification and evaluation points, and capacity building for standard implementation. It directs the promotion of green production technologies such as precision fertilization, integrated pest management, reduced veterinary antimicrobial use, full-process quality control at core production areas, roll-out of quality grading and intelligent sorting technologies, cold-chain and post-harvest loss reduction, and strengthened quality and traceability systems. It reinforces risk assessment, monitoring, enforcement and traceability, while supporting improved varieties, green inputs, nutritional processing and testing technologies. Measures for international cooperation address standards, residue limits, testing and regulatory practices.
