| Guangdong toast eel can be exported to Japan again |
An excerpt from Xinhua News Agency: the reporter learnt from Guangdong Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau that the eel made in China could be exported to Japan again through the efforts of many parties, which as stopped from the middle ten days of November (lasted nearly four months), and then lots of Japanese importers came to China to sign business contracts.
Since this July, the relevant foreign media made wrong reports, reading that prohibited drugs, such as malachite green, and nitrofurans, etc, were used to ell breeding, and cited lots of reports about FDA implementing automatic inspection about the Chinese aquatic products transport to America, and then Japan started to reject the aquatic products imported from China, the Chinese toast eel exportation sharing 80% of Japanese eel market suffered an unprecedented setback. Influenced by this, Guangdong didn’t receive any order about toast ell from Japan in four successive months.
Therefore, after being approved by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People’s Republic of China (AQSIQ), Guangdong Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau sent its investigation group at the end of Oct. 2007 to make a survey about the eel breeding, processing and distribution in Japan and South Korea. The investigation group communicated with the representatives of Japan National Federation of Fishery Cooperative Association.
Through the negotiation with relevant parties, Murakami, president of Japan National Federation of Fishery Cooperative Association, and councilor of Kumamoto county, said that he wanted to strengthen the contact and communication with China on the basis of friendly negotiation, so as to clear the air, and he would hold the Sino-Japan joint meeting about eel industry as early as possible, in order to change the bad condition that eel products suffered at present.
Huang Weiming, deputy director general of the Guangdong Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau said that Guangdong eel exportation would have a bright future, and the eel products were exported to 29 countries and regions, such as America, Russia, and Europe Union, etc, and the price of eel products exported to America and Russia was comparatively high.
Huang Weiming added that the Chinese eel products had some advantages on the whole, but overseas fixed mark processing was our main business, which would not show our brands, and the export price was far lower than that of selling price, and we could hardly bring advantage in quality and price into full play. Therefore, while perfecting the existent quality control system about export products, the Chinese eel industry should persist in the method of winning markets by quality, ruthlessly crack down non-equitable competition and illegal operation, completely implement the inspection, quarantine and supervision about export eel products by computer, promote the application of electron mark technology in eel products, export the eel products with our own brands, and change the labeling on the certificate of origin, so as to build our brands for eel products through the certificate of origin. |
