The Vegetable Marketing Office (VMO) was established in 1946, and the position of director is filled by public officials nominated by the government. Responsible for the development and benefit of farmers. Since the establishment of the vegetable wholesale market, the vegetable transportation and sales business has also begun. In vegetable growing areas in the New Territories, there are 5 vegetable collection stations and multiple designated collection locations to collect, weigh vegetables and process related documents. Later, as cooperative undertakings gradually developed, vegetable production and marketing cooperatives were established. Take over most of the collection stations and undertake the above-mentioned transportation and sales business. Currently, a total of 26 vegetable production and marketing cooperatives have been established. This department still has a collection station to continue its service to facilitate some farmers who do not sell through cooperatives to transport their products to the market for sale.

🔅Notes:
accredited farm ≠ organic farm; This is NOT ORGANIC. 🔆🔆 note that farmers are encouraged to use pesticides correctly and safely as well as farming with excellent, environmentally friendly methods.
The "Accredited Farm Program" ensures the high quality and safety of vegetables:
✅ Randomly test soil, irrigation water, and vegetable samples
✅ Regular farm visits
✅ Promote excellent horticulture practices
Accredited vegetables are vegetables produced under the Accredited Farm program. In 1994 the Department of Fisheries, Agriculture and Nature Conservation (AFCD) and the Department of Vegetable Organisation (VMO) jointly implemented the Accredited Farm Program to encourage farmers to use pesticides correctly and safely and to farm with excellent, environmentally friendly methods.
One method of testing is that the farmer will not use pesticides for a period of time before the expected harvest of vegetables, which is the vegetable safe harvest period, following safety standards and reducing pesticide residues. Of course, we must rinse the vegetables thoroughly with clean water before eating, so you can eat more safely and assuredly!
