Pay attention to both "production" and "control"

After this newspaper published a long report on the quality and safety of agricultural products in Zhejiang Province (see "creating a New era of" tongue Safety "on the front page of this newspaper on November 20, 2014), a number of leaders from the Ministry of Agriculture and Zhejiang Province issued important instructions. In order to implement the spirit of the instructions, the Department of Agriculture of Zhejiang Province recently held a forum on the quality and safety of agricultural products, inviting experts in the field of quality and safety of agricultural products, deputies to the National people's Congress, members of the CPPCC, and grass-roots representatives to conduct in-depth discussions on "establishing a demonstration province for the quality and safety of agricultural products."

Liu Xin, deputy director of the Tea quality Supervision, Inspection and testing Center of the Ministry of Agriculture, suggested that Zhejiang should seize the opportunity, carry out systematic planning around the goal of "establishing a demonstration province for the quality and safety of agricultural products," and implement supporting policies for people, finance, and materials. At the same time, the qualified rate of agricultural products will be included in beautiful villages, ecological province construction and other projects as an important index. He believes that the key to ensuring the quality and safety of agricultural products lies in the control of exports and imports, among which the establishment and improvement of environmental management of producing areas, control of production process, packaging and marking, and export of origin are very important. From the practice at home and abroad, the quality traceability of agricultural products is an effective supervision mode.

Liu Yingyi, deputy director of the Department of Agriculture of Zhejiang Province, believes that under the current situation, supervision methods must be innovated, or big data can be used to integrate testing technology, skill training, safety risk assessment and so on, so as to strengthen the supervision of the quality and safety of agricultural products. At the same time, we must improve the mechanism of high quality and high price of agricultural products, give full play to the role of market poles, promote work, and finally achieve both "production" and "management".

In the view of Zhang Zulin, director of the quality Supervision Department of the Hangzhou Agricultural Bureau, it is particularly important to effectively supervise the quality and safety of agricultural products, and it is also particularly important to strengthen the responsibility of the grass-roots government in territorial management, and this work should be included in the performance assessment, and the one-vote veto system should be implemented in the event of major security incidents. At present, the strength of the grass-roots supervision team is very weak.Therefore, the focus and strength allocation of agricultural product quality and safety supervision must be shifted downwards in the future, and financial investment must be increased. to ensure that "there are institutions in charge, special personnel to do things, capable officers, and funds to do things."

At the forum, many experts agreed that the core of solving the problem of quality and safety of agricultural products is to give full play to the decisive role of the market in the allocation of resources and to give better play to the role of the government. On the one hand, we should make use of the market mechanism to form an inverted force mechanism, constantly change the mode of agricultural development, and solve the problem of "production" from the source of production; on the other hand, it is necessary for the government to improve the working mechanism and open up the supervision chain, constantly strengthen the supervision force at the grass-roots level, and solve the problem of "management out".
