Is New Zealand sweet pumpkin okay?

I saw the sweet pumpkin from New Zealand at the mart.

Is New Zealand sweet pumpkin okay?

Isn't there a lot of pesticides to import from quite a long distance?

Wouldn't it be safe because New Zealand is famous for its clean area?

New Zealand is one of the countries with the largest number of pumpkin cultivation, especially sweet pumpkin varieties.
If it's a pesticide problem, I think our country probably uses it more.
In addition, imported goods are sample inspections, but they have to pass agricultural product inspections.

The pesticide residue test results for celery and spinach grown in New Zealand showed that 6 out of 48 samples exceeded the permissible level of residual pesticides. This level of residual dose did not indicate any harm to human health.

If you look at this, it doesn't seem safe even if it's New Zealand, a clean area.
