Who is the hometown of mustard tuber in China? After 10 years of dispute between Chongqing and Zhejiang, Fuling mustard tuber won. Yesterday, Zhou Jinguo, director of Fuling District Quality Supervision Bureau, said that the expert group of the National Quality Standards Committee recently approved the national mandatory standard of Fuling mustard tuber.
This will raise the management of Fuling mustard tuber from the industry standard to the national mandatory standard. The origin standard of Fuling mustard tuber has become a national mandatory standard, and will also become the origin standard in the industry, just like Bordeaux wine in France. In fact, on June 65438+February 65438+March last year, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine announced the implementation of origin protection for Fuling mustard tuber, which took effect on the same day, and the protection target was the products produced by Fuling mustard tuber. But this is just a big principle. Zhou Jinguo said that the identification of the National Standards Committee is to raise Fuling mustard tuber from the industry standard to the national mandatory standard.
The implementation of this standard will not only restrict mustard tuber in other producing areas, but also restrict local mustard tuber producers: enterprises that fail to meet the standards will be eliminated, and Fuling local production will be cancelled as Fuling mustard tuber alone.
It is said that there are currently more than 100 mustard tuber production enterprises in Fuling, among which there are 70 or 80 large-scale ones. These enterprises have standardized processing capacity and the output is about 500,000 tons. Other production enterprises are basically manual workshops, with an output of about 200,000 tons.
Zhou Jinguo said that enterprises that fail to meet the standards will be resolutely eliminated and enterprises above designated size will be protected. The specific way is, on the one hand, through the protection card of origin, on the other hand, through the market rules for natural elimination.
The establishment of origin protection status is conducive to expanding the market and export of Fuling mustard tuber. Because, in the future, all WTO members should conduct random inspection of imported "Fuling mustard tuber" according to this standard. (Reporter Zhou Shangdou Intern writes red dishes)
The background of the news story
Chongqing and Zhejiang have been fighting for vegetable heads for ten years.
A small vegetable head triggered a dispute between Chongqing and Zhejiang in 10. Chongqing Fuling and Zhejiang Yuyao are two major brands in the domestic mustard tuber market. From 65438 to 0995, China Agricultural Society and other departments jointly held the activity of "Publicity on the Development and Construction of Hometown with Special Products". Fujian mustard tuber and Zhejiang mustard tuber both began to compete for the title of "the hometown of mustard tuber in China".
1998, Fuling mustard tuber applied to the Trademark Office of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce for trademark registration, and obtained a trademark registration certificate, valid from April 26, 2000 to April 20, 2006. Fuling mustard tuber has successfully obtained the right to enjoy the protection of origin, raw materials, manufacturing methods, quality and commodity trademarks. With this trump card, Fuling mustard tuber occupies more than 70% of the domestic mustard tuber market at a price 20% higher than the market.
In August, 2003, Yuyao, Zhejiang Province took the opportunity to apply for the origin mark, and once again provoked the competition between the two places about the origin of mustard tuber. At the beginning of September, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine announced that Zhejiang Yuyao mustard tuber had applied to the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine for origin protection, and through formal examination and on-site examination, it began a three-month publicity.
Yuyao's preemptive strike made Fuling unable to sit still. At the beginning of September, 2003, Fuling applied to the State Administration of Quality Supervision for protection of origin, which was accepted by the state, and went to Chongqing for field investigation in June165438+1October of that year.
It is reported that although Zhejiang claims that the planting area of Yuyao mustard tuber is 65.438+10,000 mu and the annual output is 500 million kilograms, the annual processing output value is 65.438+0 billion yuan. However, Fuling said in the objection that the climate and soil in Zhejiang are increasingly unsuitable for the growth of mustard tuber raw materials, and its producers often go to Fuling to purchase raw materials. It is conservatively estimated that at least 6.5438+0.5 million tons of vegetables produced in Chongqing flow to Zhejiang every year. At the same time, Yuyao changed to salt dehydration process to make products (Fuling is air drying process), and the production cycle is too short, only a few months. , does not meet the standard of origin.
