Abstract Levels of pesticide residues in vegetables implicate the level of risks for consumers, producers, other organisms and the environment as well as pesticide residues impact on international trade of foods. This study assessed pesticide residues in vegetables (tomatoes, cabbages, Swiss chards) collected from farms and markets in central and eastern Ethiopia using QuEChERS method for sample extraction and GC-MS for pesticide analysis.
How this dataset could be used by others This data set can be combined with similar data sets specifically those generated from studies in Africa to provide a bigger picture of pesticide residues in vegetables through data modelling and related techniques.

Project title Urban Food Markets in Africa – incentivizing food safety (Pull-Push Project)
Project abstract The project aims to improve food safety in urban informal markets in Burkina Faso and Ethiopia, specifically in poultry and vegetable value chains. While previous efforts have often focused on training producers or regulators with little attention to incentives for behaviour change, the project investigates if consumer demand can provide the same incentive ('pull') for food safety in low- and middle-income countries as it has in high-income countries. It also builds capacity of market-level value chain actors to respond to demand (for example, by improving practices or adapting technologies) and of regulators to provide an enabling environment ('push'). We hypothesize that both 'pull' and 'push' approaches need to be co-implemented in urban food markets in Africa to lead to sustainably improved food safety. In addition, an enabling environment is a pre-requisite to improvements in food safety.
