It is quite likely that the street food contains ingredients that also come from industrial farming. Only the poorest countries haven't industrialized their farming completely.

Ironically, in poorer countries, the industrialized farming produce is the "deluxe" one, and they will proudly praise the amount of chemicals used on the local markets. Always wash your veggies if you buy them and inquire about the area they are grown in. Google maps search that area for industry nearby/upstream or landfills
