Recently, the General Office of the State Council issued the "Circular on the Key Work Arrangements for Food Safety in 2016" (hereinafter referred to as the "Notice"). The “Notice†pointed out that the national food safety situation in 2015 has continued to be stable and good, but the food safety foundation is still weak, and hidden risks cannot be ignored. As one of the foundations of food safety, the production and circulation of agricultural products are also mentioned in this work arrangement. The “Notice†stated that it is necessary to “build up the standards for the construction and operation of cold chain logistics for edible agricultural products and foods, and improve the level of cold chain logistics. †The new "Food Safety Law" promulgated to promote the development of cold chain logistics Reasonable distribution methods including cold chain are of great significance to food safety, but the current status of cold chain construction is not entirely satisfactory. "Compared to developed countries, China's cold-chain logistics started comparatively late. There are also problems such as weak foundation, insufficient integration, and lack of third-party logistics. Cold chain circulation rate and post-production loss ratio of agricultural products are similar to those of developed countries. The gap is large.†Fan Yan, associate researcher of the Institute of Agricultural Products Processing of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences made such a statement on the current status of cold chain transportation. New "Food Safety Law" Promoting the Development of Cold Chain Logistics According to the work arrangement of the “Noticeâ€, in 2016, it will “promote the formulation and revision of agricultural products quality and safety law, food law and food safety law implementation regulations, pesticide management regulations, livestock and poultry slaughter management regulations and other laws and regulationsâ€, and also “consume edible agricultural products. The quality and food safety work has been fully integrated into the assessment of local government performance appraisal and comprehensive management of social management. The appraisal results serve as an important basis for comprehensive appraisal and evaluation of leading groups and relevant leading cadres." China's early cold chain logistics appeared in the form of refrigeration logistics. Since the 1960s, the main transportation targets have been relatively limited. The main products are livestock and poultry products and aquatic products, compared to the development of cold chain in developed countries. The development time of the domestic cold chain is still very short. After entering the 21st century, the characteristics of e-commerce multi-batch small batches of goods and people's higher requirements for food quality and safety have brought about a huge market demand for cold chain logistics. According to the “2016-2021 China Cold-chain Logistics Industry Market Preview and Investment Strategic Planning Analysis Reportâ€, the total cold-chain logistics in China in 2015 was between 3.5 trillion yuan and 4 trillion yuan, and the annual growth rate was about 20%; At present, the market size of cold chain logistics is approximately RMB 150.9 billion; the total cold storage capacity is more than 26 million tons. This pace of development is unpredictable, but at present there is still a certain gap between China's cold chain coverage, infrastructure, and the degree of completeness of the chain. "In the cold chain logistics of agricultural products, traceability is a very important process, but at present, there are still some difficulties for some industries to make uninterrupted traceability. This is not a technical problem. It is largely related to circulation. There is a lot of disconnection." Fan Yan said. In October 2015, the new version of the "Food Safety Law" was formally implemented. The number of clauses was increased from 104 to 154, and the total number of words increased by nearly double. In this more detailed “Food Safety Lawâ€, special explanations are given on food transportation issues, and attention is paid to food safety monitoring throughout the entire supply process. Articles 33 and 123 have been made on relevant issues. Provisions. The implementation of the new version of the "Food Safety Law" will, to a certain extent, promote the overall development and upgrading of China's cold chain logistics system. In Fan Yi's opinion, "one is to promote cold-chain logistics infrastructure investment and increase industrial output value. It is estimated that by 2020, the cold-chain logistics market can quickly rise to 400 billion yuan; the second is to promote the development of integrated cold-chain logistics, so that The link between transportation and storage will be effectively bridged, and the integrated park of cold chain logistics will be greatly developed; the third is to promote the standardization of cold chain logistics, promote the construction of cold chain logistics traceability system and related technological progress; the fourth is to promote the development of related industries and improve personnel Employment." Standardization and landing go hand in hand “The development of cold chain logistics has a lot to do with the overall consumption habits.†Fan Li said that the agricultural products and food logistics before this were more short-distance transportation and they were close to urban consumption, and now projects such as the South Food Transfer Project have made agricultural products far away. With the necessity of large-scale transportation, the scattered demand of e-commerce has further deepened the system's demand for refined development. “On the whole, standardized logistics and transportation is an inevitable direction of development,†Fan Zheng said. In its opinion, strengthening the establishment of a logistics standardization system, in particular, establishing a series of standards for cold chain logistics construction standards, cold chain logistics operation specifications and technical standards, and full-scale quality control systems, and integrating them with international standards, etc. is to regulate the logistics needs of agricultural products. Advancing measures. At present, the strength from the regulatory level has also been continuously strengthened, and the powers and responsibilities have been gradually refined. Both the "Food Safety Law" and the "Agricultural Product Quality Safety Law" put forward clear requirements for logistics and transportation links. Among them, the Ministry of Agriculture is responsible for the supervision and management of the quality and safety of edible agricultural products from the planting and breeding links to the wholesale market, retail market, or production and processing enterprises. After entering the wholesale market, retail market, or production and processing enterprises, the Ministry of Agriculture is responsible for the supervision of the Food and Drug Administration. . Under the general trend of cold chaining and standardization, in order to adapt to the current economic development situation and the special needs of agricultural product logistics, more methods and supporting technologies should be adopted according to local conditions. "For example, in the storage and transportation of grapes and other fruits, in addition to controlling the ambient temperature, it is also very important to avoid mechanical damage. At present, researchers are developing some facilities and packaging methods suitable for the transportation of fruits and vegetables to prevent mechanical damage, similar to this The new technologies that are suitable for products, low cost, and high efficiency should be developed and popularized,†Fan Zheng said. Improve primary processing capacity of agricultural production areas To ensure the quality of agricultural products in the transport sector, we must not only work on the transport links, but also improve the initial processing capacity of the agricultural production areas and guarantee the high quality of fresh agricultural products before entering the logistics chain. The agricultural product processing industry is an important symbol of modern agricultural development. It is a key link for the integrated development of primary, secondary and tertiary industries, a strategic pillar industry for economic and social development, and a national production industry that ensures the nutrition, safety and health of the nation. According to Fan Yi, in 2015 China's agricultural products processing industry achieved 19.37 trillion yuan in main business income, an increase of 5.0% year-on-year; and 78,000 agricultural product processing enterprises above designated size achieved a total profit of 1.29 trillion yuan, and the processing capacity of agricultural products continued to increase. improve. However, at present, there are still problems such as simple facilities and primitive methods in the initial processing of agricultural products, which has caused the loss of agricultural products after harvest. For example, there is still a method of using traditional natural drying after food production. Due to the lack of drying, there are hidden dangers of moldy and toxin contamination. Another example is that the post-production cold chain circulation rate of vegetable products is only 5%, and there is a loss of nearly 100 million tons per year after birth. To this end, the central government has started special funds for the storage and processing of agricultural products since 2012. It is used to demonstrate the promotion of primary processing technology and equipment. Currently, it has achieved significant results in many industries such as potatoes, apples and carrots. The application of many technologies in the processing of agricultural products has also brought great convenience to the transportation of agricultural products. The Agricultural Products Processing Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences provided an example to reporters. The institute currently researches and develops a new deep processing technology for vegetable snack foods. This technology, unlike the commonly used drying and cold-drying technologies, can completely preserve the appearance and most of the nutrition of vegetables and fruits, and at the same time improve efficiency. High, low energy consumption, after such processed fruits and vegetables can be stored for a long time. Anesthesia Medical Co., Ltd. , https://www.trustfulmedical.com
