In the shape of agricultural produce of a field, the entire amount of those constituents which have become ingredients of plants is removed from the soil. After a series of years, and a corresponding number of harvests, the fertility of the soil or field diminishes. The change which is found to have taken place in the composition of the soil after harvest, is the probable cause of its diminished or lost fertility. By means of solid and liquid manure, or the excreta of men and animals, the loBt or diminished fertility of the land is restored. Solid or farmyard manure consists of decayed vegetal and animal matters, which contain a certain proportion of the constituents of the soil. The excrements of men and animals represent the ashes of the food consumed, and which has been derived from the supposed soil. The urine contains the soluble, the solid excrete the insoluble constituents of the soil derived from the crops used as food, and reaped from the soil. By adding these to the soil, it recovers those constituents which have been removed from it in the crops.

The current Codex procedures of establishing MRLs consume a period of between 4-8 years and may result in potential trade disruption. This is evident from several incidents involving the export of agricultural produce, particularly those from developing countries, which have experienced trade problems in the past. Negotiations on a government to government basis have curtailed but not eliminated the problem entirely.
