The
key elements of the National Cadmium Minimisation Strategy are:
- development
of Best Management Practices for the production and processing
of agricultural produce for those industries and/or areas which
have an existing or potential problem with cadmium levels in
their produce.
- development
of a Code of Practice by the fertiliser industry to target low
cadmium fertiliser to those areas/industries which have an existing
or potential cadmium problem.
- continued
commitment by all states to reduce the regulated maximum level
of cadmium (Cd) in phosphatic fertilisers to a practical and
safe minimum.
- all states to consider the labelling of fertilisers and soil ameliorants, to alert growers to their cadmium content.
