| Title/program | Objective | Expected outcome |
1 | Random analysis of fruits and vegetables for pesticide residues and heavy metals in selected areas while evaluation of pesticide removal methods (including GAP samples)
| Assurance of food safety | Protection of community through food contaminants |
2 | Pesticide residue analysis and elemental analysis in fruits and vegetables collected from selected districts (both GAP and Non –GAP) | Assurance of food safety while protecting the export market | Protection of community through food contaminants |
3 | Conducting Pesticide Residue Supervision trials for the Locally Registered Pesticides (nearly 3 pesticides in leafy vegetables) | Evaluation of PHI and MRLs of pesticides at local conditions | Getting clear picture on pesticide residues |
4 | Analysis of pesticide residues including storage pesticides in rice in Sri Lanka | Assurances of food safety in rice | Protection of community through food contaminants |
5 | Elemental analysis in rice cultivated in Sri Lanka |
