BEIJING, (Xinhua) — Statistics show that by the first half of this year, China had 1,929 companies using “green food” labels, producing 25 million tons of green food annually. The rapid growth of China’s national economy and per capita income have triggered changes in market demand, and more people care about their nutrition and health and prefer green food for its production that does not involve pollutants and faces strict quality control. To promote the development of the sector, China has formulated a series of laws and regulations and established a nationwide network to monitor the environment of the production bases, production process and quality, packaging, storage and transportation of products.
Many major agricultural producers in the country consider the green food industry their backbone. Heilongjiang is one of them. In a blueprint worked out recently, the northeastern province listed the building of a green food base one of its six major bases and planned to adopt preferential policies in taxation, financing and land use in this respect. Markets are the best driving force for the development of the industry. Ever-increasing prices and the welcome from consumers have ignited the enthusiasm for green food firms.
