Agriculture and aquaculture in Hong Kong

Agriculture and aquaculture in Hong Kong are considered sunset industries. Most agricultural produce is directly imported from the neighbouring mainland China. In 2006 the industry accounts for less than 0.3% of the labour sector.〔Hong Kong census. "(Census labour data pdf )." ''Labour.'' Retrieved on 14 March 2007.〕 Geographically Hong Kong consists largely of steep, unproductive hillside. The local aquaculture industry is also facing challenges from competition with imported aquatic food products and concern of fish and seafood safety.〔Hong Kong Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department. " (Fish Aqu )." ''Fishing Aquaculture.'' Retrieved on 3 April 2007.〕
==History==

In the Colonial Hong Kong era around the 1850s, agriculture in Hong Kong consisted mostly of revenue farms that focused on opium productions. The industry led to many wealthy Chinese businessmen, who established themselves as the middlemen merchants with international connection. Some of the successful farmers included Yan Wo Hong and Wo Hang Hong from 1858 to 1887.〔Ngo, Tak-Wing. () (1999). Hong Kong's History: State and Society Under Colonial Rule. United Kingdom: Routledge. ISBN 0-415-20305-8.〕 The system was discontinued by colonial authorities, when the economy needed to diversify in other activities. The last opium farm ended in 1913.〔Dahles, Heidi. Muijzenber, Otto van den. () (2003) Capital and Knowledge in Asia: Changing Power Relations. Routledge. ISBN 0-415-30417-2.〕 One of the farm founded in the era include Hong Kong Dairy Farm in 1886. As Hong Kong government favour the transition into a secondary sector, and eventually a tertiary sector, agriculture became a reduced segment.
Organic Farming was introduced in 1988.〔Hong Kong Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department. "(Organic Farming )." ''Organic Farming in Hong Kong.'' Retrieved on 20 March 2007.〕 An Accredited Farm Scheme for protecting the environment and consumers against residues of agricultural pesticides was introduced in 1994. Accredited farms strictly monitor and supervise the uses of pesticides, and produce are further analysed for chemical remnants before they are sold at accredited retail outlets. In 1994 the agriculture and fisheries industry represented 2.7% of the work force and just a mere 0.2% of the total GDP.〔Genzberger. Christine A. () (1994).
