Introduction: the fundamental measure to break the "green barrier" is to improve the quality of China's agricultural products, but in the complex international trade, sometimes the main factor for importing countries to build the "green barrier" is not a simple quality problem In recent interviews in Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other major provinces of agricultural products export, the reporter found that some local governments and export enterprises, under the premise of striving to improve the quality of agricultural products, actively take a variety of "alternative" channels, break through the "green barriers" and successfully export agricultural products to the country "Raw" can't do "familiar" Yang luyong, deputy director of Foreign Cooperation Department of Shandong Provincial Department of agriculture, said that there are some agricultural products in China that have been rejected by importing countries due to quality problems, but in recent years, the main western importing countries, because China's low-cost agricultural products have impacted the interests of their own farmers, have developed from the perspective of trade protectionism to pick and choose from our agricultural products When the domestic market demand of some importing countries is strong, they will open a "green light" for our agricultural products When the domestic market supply exceeds the demand, they will find a reason to light the "red light" The reporter learned in the interview that some agricultural product export bases should face the "face changing" of importing countries by adjusting the structure of export products and expanding the export of cooked products The bulk export of livestock and poultry products in China is mainly raw products Some enterprises try to change raw products into cooked products On the one hand, the quality of products is further improved through high-temperature processing; on the other hand, the small quantity of exports generally does not affect the interests of farmers in importing countries Shandong Zhucheng Foreign Trade Group is the "aircraft carrier" in China's agricultural products export enterprises It has world-class livestock products processing equipment, and the quality of livestock and poultry products such as chickens is not low But in recent years, it has also encountered "green barriers" from major importing countries Last year, the company worked with the largest chicken processing company in the United States to develop more than 10 kinds of cooked products On the premise that the export of raw chicken is generally frustrated, Zhucheng's foreign trade exported more than 4000 tons of cooked products last year, and this year's export volume is expected to reach 50000 tons To expand the export of non food agricultural products, the inspection of agricultural products in major Western importing countries is mainly aimed at food Some coastal areas find this feature, strive to tap the advantages of local resources, and vigorously develop agricultural products that are not related to food safety but need international market demand Some enterprises in Hangzhou specialize in the production of down products Last year, they exported 3.4 billion yuan, accounting for half of the country's exports Zhejiang Xiaoshan Dazhuang flooring factory is the largest bamboo product manufacturer in China, whose products are in short supply in Southeast Asia This enterprise has not only become a big local tax earner, but also brought farmers in many southern provinces to plant bamboo and become rich At present, the company is expanding its production scale "The East is not bright and the west is bright" in view of different inspection standards for imported agricultural products in various countries, China's export enterprises should not only make great efforts to improve the quality of agricultural products, but also strive to open up new markets, "the East is not bright and the west is bright" According to the reporter in Zhejiang Province, not long ago, the European Union again threw out technical barriers to China and suspended the import of China's aquatic products But the same aquatic products are in short supply in markets such as Japan Some foreign trade enterprises in Zhejiang immediately changed their direction and successfully opened up international markets outside the EU As a result, although the EU has built "green barriers", the losses of enterprises are not large For example, the European Union has raised the detection standard for green tea in China, but the detection standard for green tea in Japan is relatively low In this way, on the one hand, we will improve the quality of green tea as soon as possible, on the other hand, we will actively explore the international market with low inspection standards In recent years, the vegetable industry in Weifang, Shandong Province has successfully developed markets in North America, the European Union and Africa while stabilizing traditional markets such as Japan through the implementation of standardized production strategy Let the export of agricultural products "go out" strategy be carried out, and let the "land sold" become "place of origin" In the interview, the reporter learned that some agricultural product export bases actively produce and process agricultural products on the spot in consumer countries, avoiding "green barriers" through labor export, technology export, overseas investment and other ways For example, Shouguang farmers go to South Korea to grow vegetables A private enterprise in Yuhang, Zhejiang Province, invested US $600000 to develop more than 100 mu of land in Uruguay and grow grapes and other fruits and vegetables.
