Aquaculture processing industry inspection standards threshold high

It is understood that the total amount of Shandong aquatic products produced by the Water Quality Analyzer has occupied the No. 1 position in China for many years in a row. The export of aquatic products also occupies the No. 1 position in China, and the export of aquatic products also occupies the No. 1 position in the country. In Qingdao, in Yantai, and in the sunshine there are Japanese and Koreans. In 2008, the total amount of fish processing in Yantai reached 1.05 million tons, and the output value reached 18 billion yuan. At the two ends, fish processing enterprises have been suffering in the world. About 40% of the offshore fishing products are processed in China, mainly in coastal cities such as Yantai and Qingdao, Dalian, Weihai and Zhoushan.

Both models have advantages and defects, but Yantai’s two-outside model is more thought-provoking: raw materials are imported, finished products are exported, funds are foreigners, and processing is China. When it comes to food safety incidents or trade frictions, it is often an order that cannot be made. It will be "hard work for decades and return to liberation overnight." In February last year, a “toxic dumpling incident” triggered by a company in Hebei affected the export of Yantai aquatic products to Japan, and many companies had no production for months.

The detection threshold for aquatic products processing industry is getting higher and higher: the industry people describe the aquatic products processing industry in Yantai: the industrial chain of Yantai fishery processing industry is not perfect. It is only in the intermediate link of the entire industrial chain, and there is no strong qualified aquaculture capacity, and there is no market. The ability to sell can only be a production process. The market has poor control and destiny is controlled by the downstream and upstream.

The Yantai Ocean and Fisheries Bureau believes that the problem of low and intermediate heights in Yantai fishery processing is very prominent. According to the objective requirements of industrialization development, pre-production, mid-production, and post-production should be coordinated, but Yantai's fish processing capacity is outstanding. Raw materials supply and markets must all rely on others.

The upstream products in Yantai fishery processing—sea-catching products—are almost all supplied by foreign countries, suffering from the lack of raw materials, and the industrial chain has stalled the development of fish processing in Yantai. However, in coastal aquaculture, it is difficult to meet export standards because of excessive drug residues.

The downstream consumer market of laboratory instruments is basically in the hands of foreign investors. The vast majority of export products cannot directly enter supermarkets. The reason is simple. It is difficult for a single aquatic processing enterprise to establish its own sales channels abroad by its own efforts.

The relevant personages of the Yantai Oceanic and Fisheries Bureau expressed emotions: As Jinglu Fishery, which is deeply processed, and Dachen Foods, which are diversified in production, Haihe and Haiyu, which have achieved the ultimate goal of exporting to Japan, are developing the high-value-added Dajijia Aquatic Products Processing Park. Yantai fish processing is a rare highlight. However, for the entire industry, aquatic product processing companies cannot take the initiative in the processing of varieties and prices. Some processing methods and varieties of profit is very thin, like the processing of squid, etc. is basically the preservation of the operation, the lack of supply of raw materials processing also restricted the rapid development of the city's aquatic product processing industry. In recent years, local fishery resources have been declining. In particular, some large-scale aquaculture species, such as scallops and prawns, have not achieved breakthroughs in disease prevention technology so far, resulting in a decline in output and a small amount of processing. Ocean fishing and most of the purchased raw materials have also been greatly affected due to the reduction of resources worldwide, and there is a large gap between the requirements for the development of the processing industry.

The detection threshold of aquatic products processing industry is getting higher and higher: the low level and level of the existing industries are another important factor constraining development. Industry insiders pointed out that the current level of deep processing of aquatic products in our city is not enough, and the technological equipment of enterprises is relatively backward. At the same time, the number of branded products is very small, with more than 300 companies in the city and only two or three of their own brands in the international market.

In the international industrial transfer of aquatic product processing, there is an approximate “single arrow” route: about the 1960s, the Japanese first made OEM services for European and American countries; by the 1970s, the Japanese commissioned Korean OEM production. After 10 years, the group eventually took power and seized power; from the 1980s to the 1980s, the Chinese fish processing industry, represented by the three cities of Shandong, Yantai, Dalian, and Zhoushan, Zhejiang, began to take the lead and replaced South Korea after entering the new century. .

Will this transfer continue? Who is the "fourth generation" processing base? When the industry is troubled by the "four strange elephants", the answer has begun to surface. This statement has a certain factual basis. At present, Vietnam’s market competition advantages in aquatic product production and quality have begun to catch up with China in full. From January to July this year, the output of aquatic products in Vietnam reached 1.2 million tons, an increase of 7% year-on-year. It is expected that the total output of aquatic products will be Up to 2 million tons.

Japan and the EU have higher thresholds for the import of aquatic products. Takaoka is the president of the famous Japanese fishery company Oka Foods Co., Ltd. The 70-year-old Japanese travels between Japan and Yantai for many years, in addition to exchange marketing concepts. The most important mission is to ensure the safety of seafood processing in Japan.

At the age of retirement of the Chinese, once a month to smoke, such a high-strength job is only for "safety"? Wang Dajun, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Seafood and Foods, confirmed this statement: “Every time a Japanese businessman visits a company, he does not look at the office, but sees the hygiene of the workshop and the hygiene of the toilet. When he goes to the restaurant, he focuses on the restaurant operation room and the bathroom. People believe that these two hygiene products do a good job of natural rest assured that he is looking at the inner core - safety. On the contrary, some of our small Chinese manufacturers have beautiful doors and produce OEMs, often on nutrition and raw materials. Articles, making steamed bread, seldom talk about their own production workshops and the environment. In fact, the most important thing in aquatic products is the safety and hygiene control of the processing process, and there is little difference in raw materials.”

For safety, the water quality analyzer's workshop in Japan's aquatic processing enterprises will always be sealed and will never use even a tiny amount of insecticides or fly-killers because the amount of drug residues in 100 tons of aquatic products cannot exceed 1 gram. A drug can be checked out.

At present, Yantai fishery processing is exported all over the world, but the conditions for exporting to Japan and the European Union are the most severe.

The EU's new food law further magnifies the food safety management chain and requires that every aspect of food production, from "farm to table", must comply with standards, otherwise the European Commission has the right to cancel its import qualifications.

Japan's "positive list" covers almost all of China's agricultural products exported to Japan, and has a severe impact on exports of China's superior products such as vegetables, marine products, poultry, and livestock. As listed in the list of aquatic products (fish), there are 44 pesticide residue limits such as trichlorfon etc., of which 6 drugs have a limit of “not to be detected”; 68 fish and veterinary drugs are limited to carp, 59 of which are China There is no limit, but Japan has set stricter limits. The other two kinds of medicines are more limited than China's original. For other fish, 69 pesticides and veterinary drugs are also listed, of which 57 drugs have no limit for China and Japan has stricter limits. The other 4 drugs have a more limited quantity than the original China.

The "list of positive" system has an "involvement" system. As long as one company in China has a problem, all companies' products must be tested again. Therefore, in addition to preparing themselves, large enterprises must also worry about the products of small enterprises. In February last year, a “toxic dumpling incident” triggered by a company in Hebei affected the export of Yantai aquatic products to Japan, and many companies had no production for months.

Obviously, the eyes of the EU and Japan’s new food laws are locked in “source control,” and Chinese companies’ export costs and export risks will increase. According to the current model, the processing of aquatic products may still be ten or twenty years or longer in Yantai, but whether the industry will suddenly shift overnight will be a problem for Yantai fish processing companies. How to make the processing of aquatic products resident and evergreen in Yantai is an issue that companies and governments need to think about.
