The Chinses Ministry of Agriculture announced Tuesday that farm products from 155 farming units in China have been labeled as eco-friendly.

Most of these farm products are fish, meat, vegetables, fruits and tea that are closely related to people's lives, the ministry said.

China has furthered the national scheme first launched last year to promote uncontaminated food and set a goal to markedly improve the overall quality of farm products in China's urban and rural areas within the next five to eight years.

The authorization of labeling the eco-friendly farm products ispart of the scheme aimed at effectively controlling problems of pesticide residue and food contamination caused by noxious materials, including heavy metals.
