VEGETABLES CERTIFICATION SCHEME (VCS)
What is Vegetables Certification Scheme? (VCS)
A scheme organised by Department of Agriculture for the commercial vegetable planters. The participant must comply with all the conditions specified under the scheme and manage their farm incorporating the concept of Good Agriculture Practices (GAP). The staff of the Department would monitor their farms periodically to check on their credentials. To confirm compliance, samples of the vegetables produced are collected for pesticide residue analysis. A certificate is issued annually subject to the farmers being able to satisfy all the conditions specified under the scheme. With such a scheme in place, consumers would have the confidence that the vegetables they eat are pesticide safe. Vegetables produced from these farms could have a marketing edge both for the local and export markets. This scheme is an important step towards quality assurance regarding food safety in Sarawak.
