A recent study published by the School of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, School of Economics, analyzed the impact of maximum residue limit (MRL) standards on China’s agri-food exports from 2005 to 2021 based on Homologa’s data. These are some of the key findings included in the study
- Stricter MRL standards reduce the probability of exporting but increase export values when exports occur.
- MRL standards for certain substances impede trade.
- Changes in compliance costs due to MRL adjustments affect export margins differently.
