When will organic food go into "spring"?

In times of frequent food safety problems, people with higher standards of living are pinning their food safety on organic foods. Organic food is favored by consumers and it becomes a matter of course. However, when it is also like all other commodities, counterfeit products are also emerging in the market.

Organic Food Market European organic food production is a world leader and is also one of the largest organic food consumer markets in the world. According to the ITC report, European organic food and beverage sales in 2001 were worth US$12 billion. Germany is Europe's largest consumer market for organic foods, accounting for more than one-third of Europe's organic food sales. It is second only to the United States in the world. In addition to Germany, countries with large organic food consumption in Europe include France, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Denmark, and Italy. In most markets, organic food sales account for about 1% of total food sales. It is expected that organic foods in major markets will increase from 1% to 5% of total food sales in the next few years. ~10%. Organic cereal products accounted for 37% of the organic food market, dairy products 11%, meat 11%, and other products 41%. The above figures vary among European countries. For example, the French organic food market accounts for 42% of cereals, fruit/vegetables 25%, wine 2%, meat and poultry 3%; UK fruit/vegetables 54%, cereals 14%, dairy products 7%; in Denmark Dairy products account for 45% and fruits/vegetables account for 17%.

Due to the formation and improvement of the green environment in the international market, the foreign trade of China's current related products has been greatly affected. As a developing country, China is in a period of economic development. On the one hand, grain cannot fully satisfy domestic consumer demand, but it cannot completely surrender the market to foreign countries. On the other hand, many of our famous special agricultural products have quality and price advantages and can occupy a part of the international market, especially Western Europe and the United States. Japan and other developed countries. Therefore, for the producers of agricultural products, they should absorb modern science and technology as much as possible, give full play to the role of science and technology in agricultural production, and increase the quantity and quality of China's grain and other agricultural products, and strengthen it in the international market. On the competitiveness. The price of organic foods is 30% higher than that of ordinary agricultural products, and some are even higher than 60%. Farmers can benefit from higher agricultural product prices and lower capital investment. Products with regional characteristics, if there is no quality advantage, are not competitive. If the added value is low, it will be difficult to obtain substantial profits. Therefore, in the new international situation, we must further accelerate the pace of organic food development and keep up with the trend of the times. The global organic food market is growing at a rate of 20% to 30%. Within a few years will reach 100 billion US dollars. If we can account for 1% to 2%, we can increase foreign exchange income by 1 billion U.S. dollars a year, which is equivalent to 13% of China's agricultural exports in the first half of 2000.

Market chaos for organic foods Today, food safety issues are more frequent, organic foods are favored by consumers. However, even distributors that have opened organic food stores know that the so-called organic "just a few suppliers change the package to become organic products," the trick when the public exclaimed: The original organic is a luxury ! Of course, it is also like all other commodities. There are also many fake products on the market.

1. Planting technology is not one of the major obstacles to the development of an organic food production base. Organic foods, like other products, also need experience. The preparation of production bases for products is the foundation for industrial development. However, at present, the lack of organic food bases in China is an urgent problem to be solved.

In the strict sense of organic products, the whole process from the source of production to the consumer must be made available. That is, if a consumer buys a box of organic vegetables from the supermarket, he should be able to find the box of vegetables from Everything from supermarkets, to transportation, to production companies, to the field.

The information and supervision of any one link is interrupted. This product is not a strictly organic product.

2. Most certification marks are forged:

The national food safety standards for organic foods are lacking. At present, China's organic food certification system is not perfect, and there is an illegal act of giving money certification. Inadequate market supervision has led to confusion in the authenticity of organic foods on the market. Since it is not "organic" and can not be seen from the looks, and ordinary foods just need to put on an "organic" coat, you can immediately stand up and Qiqi goods, to the market is still full of Ann can distinguish me from the authenticity of "Li "Ghosts," so organic food regulation and certification, in fact, has nothing to do with "organic", but has become a "business opportunity" that can use whatever means.

3, fake organic food endlessly:

Some consumers have inaccurate awareness of organic foods. The agricultural products are divided into four grades: ordinary, pollution-free, green, and organic. The certification of organic food quality is the highest level. Most consumers only have some superficial understanding of these concepts and do not know how to identify products at all. The “organic” logo of vegetables and fruits will increase in value. In the organic food industry chain in Shandong, Guangxi and other places, “organic” will be arbitrarily labelled, spend money on “organic” certification labels, post counterfeit and expired “organic” certifications. Labels and other phenomena are common occurrences.

When consumers begin to have infinite expectations for “organic,” “green,” and “no pollution,” but “interests” are pervasive, and unscrupulous companies driven by them will gradually spread their hands to this pure fertile land. After organic foods staged a “false certification” controversy in the near future, people’s enthusiasm for organic foods had to be forced to cool down, and the “Rising Star” market was “dirty” in the dirty competition environment. Consumers are very helpless, and some excellent organic food manufacturers have also made an uproar. Faced with the harsh environment of market competition, companies have begun to worry: The market is chaotic. The bad merchants have dirty organic signs. How can organic foods go?
