Introduction: BACKGROUND: the so-called green barrier refers to the trade barrier that some countries, by virtue of their scientific and technological advantages, protect the environment and human health for the purpose of legislating or enacting strict mandatory technical regulations, restrict the access of foreign goods in the field of international trade Green barrier is also called environmental barrier The main forms of green barriers are green tariffs, green market access, green countervailing, green antidumping, environmental trade sanctions, the promotion of domestic ppm standards and other standards, consumer choice (green consumption), mandatory green signs, mandatory ISO14000 certification, cumbersome import inspection procedures and inspection systems, etc Although the formation of green barriers is only a matter of nearly 10 years, it has become more and more globalized and has been accelerating its development The main export markets of China's agricultural products are the United States, Japan, the European Union, South Korea, etc., and the export volume to them accounts for about 80% of the total export volume of China Moreover, most of these countries and regions are members of the WTO Committee on Trade and environment They have set up green trade barriers one after another to strengthen green protectionism Many of China's export products are often excluded from the international market because they fail to meet their "green standards" The export market is not only difficult to consolidate, but also possible to shrink Zqx is a grim reality, which makes agricultural exporters and producers familiar with the new term "green barrier" Zqx not long ago, honey exported from China to the European Union was "banned" because of "antibiotics exceeding the standard": EU countries carried out compulsory inspection on Chinese honey on their market, and seized, returned or destroyed unqualified goods Subsequently, Japan, Canada, the United States and other countries also strengthened the honey test from mainland China Statistics from Tianjin Customs show that from January to February this year, the number of returned agricultural products increased by 56% year on year Zqx Heilongjiang Province, as a major agricultural product production and export province, has fluctuations in the international agricultural product market, and Heilongjiang Province is about to "earthquake" Facing the "green barrier" of agricultural products, the exporters of agricultural products are at a loss Zqx experts worry that once the export of agricultural products becomes a problem, the situation of increasing farmers' income will be even worse Not only that, with the improvement of people's awareness of food safety, the access standards for agricultural products in large and medium-sized cities in major domestic consumption areas will be greatly improved, which has increased a considerable threshold for the export of agricultural products in our province The impact of zqx's accession to the WTO makes Heilongjiang people gradually understand that to improve the world status of agricultural products in our province, expand exports, stabilize and expand sales outside the province, the key is to make an article on "green" and improve the quality of agricultural products Although our province is under the strategic conception of "playing green card, taking characteristic road and accelerating the upgrading of green food industry", in 2001, the planting area of green food reached 12 million mu, an increase of 15.9%, reaching an unprecedented stage of development, but because the production of farmers is mostly one household, relatively scattered, not well organized in the production and management links, in the fierce market competition It is easy to be disordered Moreover, if we don't improve the quality of agricultural products as soon as possible, not only the export-oriented foreign exchange earning agriculture can't be talked about, but also the influx of foreign agricultural products Geng Yuewei, director of the scientific research department of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, gave an example The raw materials used in the fast-food mashed potatoes of KFC, which is developing rapidly in China, still need to be imported from the United States One of the reasons is that it is difficult to find agricultural products with the same batch specifications in China Zqx, a manager who has been engaged in vegetable export trade for many years, said with great feeling: "foreign businessmen have strict requirements on the shape, size and weight of vegetables, not to mention the quality problems such as pesticide residues If they meet the requirements, they are willing to pay a large price If they do not meet the standards, low-cost families are not allowed." Therefore, in the face of the export problems of agricultural products, the experts of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences suggest that we must pay attention to the standardized production of agricultural products, transform the advanced scientific and technological achievements into standards according to the principles of simplification, unification, coordination and optimization, monitor and implement them, and standardize the agricultural production, processing, management and service, This can not only improve the conversion rate of agricultural scientific and technological achievements, but also promote the quality of agricultural products and enhance the international competitiveness of agriculture We must attach importance to the development of environmental protection agriculture, the construction of ecological environment, the comprehensive planning of planting industry, breeding industry and agricultural product processing industry, the rational allocation, the conservation of energy, the protection of natural resources, the adoption of organic agricultural technology, the implementation of rational rotation, intercropping, intensive cultivation and the application of organic fertilizer, and the production of green agricultural products At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen detection, stop the export of unqualified agricultural products, and establish a good image of a big green province Quality and reputation are the life of green food Once there is a quality problem, the lighter will destroy a brand and an enterprise, and the heavier will bring a devastating blow to the green food industry Zqx in recent years, with the rapid development of green food, the existing green food quality supervision and inspection system in our province is difficult to meet the actual needs, and the pressure of supervision and inspection tasks is very large On the one hand, it restricts the development of green food industry in our province, on the other hand, it makes the quality reputation of green food difficult to guarantee, to a certain extent, it increases the quality risk of green food Recently, good news came from the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences The grain and product quality supervision and Testing Center (Harbin) of the Ministry of agriculture of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences was authorized by China Green Food Development Center as the designated quality supervision and Testing Center for green food, which laid the foundation for ensuring the steady and healthy development of green food industry in our province and comprehensively maintaining the good reputation of green food ZQX In today's agricultural products trade under the framework of WTO, "no green entry" has appeared Many countries, while removing trade barriers, have increased their demands on agricultural products The setting of "technical barriers" and "green barriers" will undoubtedly put forward higher requirements for the technology and quality of green food Therefore, the quality and safety assurance of green food cannot be ignored Experts from the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences warned that the planting industry should focus on the production of a batch of pollution-free green food; the animal husbandry should establish a production base of animal products and animal products production and processing enterprises without specific pathogens and drug residues At the same time, we should establish wholesale markets and market markets for green agricultural products, so as to promote the connection between base production and market Only by doing a good job of "green" article can we make our agricultural products go abroad ZQX
