AB  - Six years of pesticide residue data from fresh produce destined for the export 
      market were analyzed for the period 2009 to 2014. A total of 37,838 fruit 
      (99.27%) and vegetable (0.73%) data sets analyzed for the presence of 73 
      pesticides were compared. Pesticides were detected on 56.46% of samples, of which 
      0.78% had multiple residues. Noncompliances detected were because of the use of 
      unregistered pesticides (0.73%), values that exceeded established maximum residue 
      levels (MRLs) (0.32%), or the combination of values that exceeded MRLs and the 
      use of unregistered pesticide residues (0.003%). The most commonly detected 
      pesticides that exceeded established MRLs were imazalil (37.71%), prochloraz 
      (28.69%), and iprodione (5.74%). The unregistered pesticide most often found on 
      grapes and avocados was also imazalil (62.23%) and, on nectarines and avocados, 
      diphenylamine (11.15%). Exceedances of MRL values were mostly associated with 
      oranges (43.44%), avocados (27.87%), grapefruits (7.38%), and lemons (6.56%). 
      Residual pesticide monitoring on fruits and vegetables is a key tool to ensure 
      conformity with regulatory requirements and compliance with good agricultural 
      practices and the trade requirements set by the importing country.
