Abstract:

Over the past nine years, as the basic law for regulating the quality and safety of agricultural products, the Law
of the People’s Republic of China on Quality and Safety of Agricultural Products has played an important role in improving
the quality and safety of agricultural products. However, the new changes in the quality and safety situation of agricultural
products and the adjustment of the supervision institution have brought new challenges for the current law. The Law of the
People’s Republic of China on Quality and Safety of Agricultural Products has to be revised soon. On the other side, the
second revision of the Food Safety Law of the People’s Republic of China, which has been completed its in April 2015,

Agricultural Products. In this study, based on a detailed analysis of the legislative principle, system design and mechanism
innovation of the Revised Food Safety Law of the People’s Republic of China, three suggestions are put forward on revising
the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Quality and Safety of Agricultural Products.
