Guangxi: export of new regulatory thrust fruit industry standardization

In recent years, China's exports of fruit year after year the overall level of quality and safety improve, but also often found in inspection and quarantine issues were returned or destroyed. To protect the farmers and the interests of export enterprises, the AQSIQ promulgated new regulations: Since November 1, 2007 onwards, from non-registered orchards and fruit packing plant may not be exported.

Although the parties had conducted a full mobilization, but the reporter Banyuetan Pingxiang Port in Guangxi recently in an interview found that early in November, some of the export fruit is still a large backlog. Governments at all levels in Guangxi and the entry-exit inspection and quarantine department of the positive efforts of the local fruit exports gradually ride out the storm, and one of the lessons and experience throughout the enterprise learn from farmers and export.

Guangxi have more than 1000 million farmers engaged in fruit cultivation, the fruit industry to one of the major economic source of income for farmers in more than six million people. 2006 Guangxi exports more than 30 million tons of fruit, citrus, persimmon and other fruits by Vietnam, Thailand and other countries welcomed.

"The new regulations from November 1, 2007 since implementation, mean that there is no inspection and quarantine departments in registered orchards and packing plant fruits, then will not be allowed to carry out inspection for export." Guangxi SAIECIQ and supervision of all animal and plant quarantine Wang Zhan-jun, told reporters on Banyuetan. Guangxi fruit industry because of the registration system has just started, the implementation of the new regulations give the local fruit export has brought greater impact on the first days of November, Guangxi Pingxiang port once the backlog of export fruit.

Gongcheng Yao Autonomous County in Guangxi are the county's largest fruit production. Reporter from a local fruit and circulation departments that Gongcheng fruit production in 2006 of about 510,000 tons, with citrus, oranges, persimmon, mainly Shatian. It was early in November 2007 listed Gongcheng concentrated persimmon season. "The first two days in November, we have about 20 cars more than 400 tons crisp persimmon inspection can not be exported, only the territory of sale, I lost nearly 2 million." Gongcheng Yao Autonomous County of North-dong source fruit circulation Qin Association Yi told reporters.

Hengxian township in Guangxi in Southern Farmer Wong Po-Wei planted 4 acres of persimmon, produces more than 1 million kilograms more than half through Pingxiang exports, domestic sales prices higher than 1 / 3. "Now suddenly that there is no registration to prevent exports, income will definitely dropped." At that time, Wong Po-Wei told reporters that "no good in the domestic selling price of the registration does not want to know who to turn to go, really anxious."

Guangxi relevant survey found, resulting in the orchard registration key factor in the difficulty lies in the fact that the local fruit export inspection the vast majority of enterprises do not have a fixed base of fruit production, most exporters only with transactions between dealers rather than directly with the farmers Contact. Export sales out of touch with the orchard production, which makes exporters do not want to and can not be registered orchards policy in this important and timely transmission of information to farmers.

The degree of organization of production is not high impact orchards are registered another factor. In accordance with the relevant provisions of China's current application for registration of the exit must realize lace fruit orchards and plant area of 100 acres or more. But China's current situation is that the orchard has long been decentralized to the home contractor, in order to achieve the registration requirements must be scattered to the farmers to organize themselves.

In addition, registration is a complicated one, a short period of time can not complete a full set of reporting procedures for registration can not be ignored is also an important factor. Exit Inspection and Quarantine Guilin Chen Kun-chu said: "At present, the vast majority of farmers have not been able to achieve the standardization of plant, it is very difficult to want to standardize."

"Our hard-won fruits abroad to gain a certain market. Since registration if things are affected, thereby losing foreign markets, it would be more harm than good." Exit Inspection and Quarantine deputy director of Guangxi hsieh Banyuetan Temple Moses told reporters, in view of the majority of fruit Base declare a short period of time can not prepare all Materials, Guangxi特事特办Exit Inspection and Quarantine, a multi-pronged approach and go all out for the vast number of fruit and fruit-packing plant to provide registration services.

First, the human branch of the sinking, to declare the receipt of registration after a short period of time quickly went to the park, verifying registration. Second, all free of charge registration, permit farmers on their own soil and water has got the relevant qualifications Detect Test Center will test results reported record Exit Inspection and Quarantine, as long as a full declaration of the basic materials, you can register as soon as possible . Furthermore, in accordance with the provisions of the export fruit in the port of origin inspection must produce proof of the original supplier. Dealers in order to compress the application procedures, production inspection and quarantine departments are being taken to supply proof of the way fax, dealers can rely on fax inspections, in exchange for the original post again.

The latest statistics show that up to now, has been completed, Guangxi Liuzhou, Nanning, Qinzhou, Guilin, Hezhou such as orchards, fruit-packing plant examination registration more than 90, covering 300,000 hectares of orchards. November 1, 2007 to 28 in Guangxi Liuzhou, Hezhou Register orchards and other places from Pingxiang port exports more than 1500 batches of fruit, for a total of more than 50,000 tons, the value of more than 800 million.

Guangxi Exit Inspection and Quarantine experts said the transition phase after the end of 2008 will be strictly orchard registration system to fruit as a unit to carry out professional cooperatives declaration, required for the establishment of fruit orchards in the quality management system and undertake sampling costs. It is understood that the ordinary orchard soil, water, air, etc. Registration Detect indicators, the average investment for the 6,000 ~ 8,000 yuan.

To effectively reduce the burden on farmers Register, Guangxi Exit Inspection and Quarantine hsieh Dian-chi, deputy director of think, only to declare a free inspection and quarantine measures can not be met over the next few years the growth rate of exports of fruit, for which the past should be completely changed just Shanlin forestry maintenance, just look at the provision of water sources, agriculture only stare varieties cultivated, business grants only a single fruit sales practices, as soon as possible to integrate the various departments have the funds to support agriculture, to create synergy, to enable farmers to maximize the benefit from industrial development.

Experts pointed out that some developed countries in imports of fruit quality, technical barriers to increasing security, China's fruit to go out of the country to participate in international competition, it must as soon as possible做优做强. "Although the problem only appears in fruit exports, but the situation is the future, whether it is export or domestic sales, fruit plant standardization and management are the general trend. The country promulgated the new regulations, in fact also put the domestic fruit and plant management of a forward thrust. "Guangxi Exit Inspection and Quarantine Animal and Plant Quarantine Director of Management Services, said Wang Zhan-jun. (China Food Industry Network)
