Introduction: last year, China's total output of vegetables reached 440 million tons, accounting for 350 kg per capita, while the actual consumption per capita was only about 100 kg, about 70% of the vegetables were finally thrown away and rotted Professor Chen Xiwen, a famous agricultural expert and deputy director of the development research center of the State Council, disclosed the above amazing figures in an interview with reporters "In addition to oversupply of the total amount of vegetables, another important factor is food safety." Chen said Chen Xiwen believes that after China's accession to the WTO, one of the challenges facing China's agriculture is food safety He said that in the past, due to the lack of supply, agricultural production has been pursuing high output, neglecting the quality management of agricultural products, and food safety standards are too low JRX is understood that at present, there are more than 200000 tons and 1000 kinds of pesticides applied to crops, some even illegal drugs Some chemical pollutants, once entering the food chain, will be difficult to eliminate According to the Municipal Commission of agriculture, 18% of agricultural products in Beijing were found to have harmful residues exceeding the national standards, including 33% of eggs, 20% of vegetables, 18.7% of fruits and 17.6% of meat JRX according to relevant US personnel, from August last year to January this year, the US FDA detained 634 batches of imported food from China because of impurities, pesticide residues, high content of food additives, unclear labels, etc These problems not only damage the export of agricultural products, but also bring negative impact on the image and reputation of the country JRX Chen Xiwen pointed out that at present, the main reason for the difficulty in exporting livestock and poultry products in China is epidemic disease The implementation of the epidemic announcement system is a wise move in line with international standards He said that another factor affecting China's agricultural exports is the residue of chemicals in agricultural products At present, China uses 42 million tons of chemical fertilizer every year, with an average of more than 400 kg per hectare of land, greatly exceeding the standard of 225 kg per hectare in the United States and Europe JRX Chen Xiwen pointed out that at present, the quality standards of agricultural products in China are not standardized Developed countries have sound quality standards for major agricultural products The quality standard of many products in our country is lower than the international level JRX in the new century, China's agriculture should develop new technologies to test food pollution, improve food quality and nutritional value, take providing sufficient, nutritious and safe food as a complete goal, and incorporate it into the goal system of sustainable development of social economy JRX (author:) to feed Weibo to:
