The survey, conducted between December and January, found that the percentage of stalls that could not provide evidence of their organic claims was similar to last year. But they had grown more clever in their methods of promotion."It used to be that sellers would verbally claim their vegetables were 'organic'. Nowadays, they're cleverer, they'll use terms such as 'from the New Territories' or 'handpicked' to avoid getting into trouble," said Professor Wong Woon-chung of Baptist University's biology department.According to the Customs Department, any person who sells goods or services with a false trade description commits a criminal offence.Wong said since the city lacked a clear definition of the term "organic", unscrupulous promotion strategies could thrive. There was also no law to regulate organic certification.
