The year 2011 was a bumper harvest year for Taizhou's export canning industry. The total number of cans exported was 2,782 batches, 74,000 tons and 110 million US dollars. The batches, weight and amount of cans increased by 0.9%, 11.1% and 43% year on year, respectively. Among them, the value of goods increased rapidly, exceeding 100 million US dollars for the first time.

 

Canned food has always been a traditional export of Taizhou, and canned oranges account for about 20% of the country's total exports. Except for the orange canned exports, Taizhou's exports of soft cans, jelly and canned fish increased significantly in 2011. Especially under the guidance of the Taizhou Inspection and Quarantine Bureau, the canned fish jointly developed by the inspection and quarantine enterprises was unanimously recognized by the foreign market. The value of the canned fish increased by 47.1% year-on-year, accounting for only two years. The export volume of canned food in Taizhou is 1/10.

 

In order to ensure the quality and safety of Taizhou's export canned goods, the Taizhou Bureau last year closely centered on the Twelve-Character policy of "Grasping quality, ensuring safety, promoting development and strengthening quality inspection" put forward by the General Administration of Quality Supervision and Inspection (AQSIQ), adhered to the principle of promoting product quality and safety on the basis of standardizing the honesty and legal operation of enterprises, taking the development of trade in service enterprises as the key point, and promoted vigorously. Canned exports.

 

The first is to establish a regulatory mechanism for canned food safety from the source. In order to improve the safety level of export canned goods, Taizhou Bureau actively promotes the construction of raw material safety control system for export canned enterprises, promotes the establishment of self-inspection system for raw material safety for enterprises, requests enterprises to take the acceptance of raw materials as a key control point, and strengthens the management of the acceptance of raw materials for enterprises. In the early stage of canning production, the staff of the Bureau will go to the raw material production base to make a thorough investigation and take samples to detect pesticide residues, so as to ensure the safety and reliability of raw materials put into production.

 

Two, we must strictly control the use of raw materials and additives in canned products. Taizhou Bureau takes the opportunity of "cracking down on illegal additions" to standardize the use and management of food additives in export canning enterprises, and helps enterprises to standardize the system of qualified suppliers of raw materials and accessories, additives and production aids, purchase acceptance system and traceability system. In the process of product processing, the bureau carries out strict supervision and management over the whole process from raw materials (residue detection), acceptance of accessories (qualified suppliers, auxiliary materials record, composition inspection) to finished products, and inspects the quality of final products to ensure product quality.

 

The three is to successfully help enterprises to meet the official inspection abroad. Taizhou Bureau gives full play to its technical and information advantages to guide an export canning enterprise in its jurisdiction to pass the official inspection of the US FDA smoothly. From the formulation of a thorough inspection plan, to help enterprises improve the quality control system, traceability system and equipment facilities, and then to the appointed person to accompany the inspection, timely summary of inspection experience, all reflect the bureau's "enterprise first, service first" concept.

 

The successful passing of the inspection not only improved the quality and safety level of Taizhou export cans and foreign reputation, but also accumulated a wealth of inspection experience, laying a foundation for the establishment of an effective inspection mechanism.

 

Four, we need to promote foreign trade facilitation. "Access and environment, services without borders". Taizhou Bureau extends the trade facilitation measures such as "green passage", "direct release" and "classified management" to the canned export enterprises in an all-round way, so as to help them pass through customs quickly. Especially after the earthquake in Japan, according to the dramatic increase in demand for canned food in Taizhou, the enterprises adopted the method of "quick inspection, quick inspection and accelerated nuclear release" to ensure product quality and safety, maximize the speed of customs clearance and solve the practical problems of export canned food enterprises.
