As a result of the global epidemic, China's foreign trade in agricultural products is under constant pressure. The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs said that China's foreign trade declined in the first quarter, and the trade of agricultural products was also affected. Therefore, sponsored by the ministry of trade and investment promotion ccpit, commercial trade union to undertake agricultural exports guide online lectures invite the industry experts and industry leaders, on the quality and safety of agricultural products and regulation, analysis credit risk situation of foreign trade and exports of agricultural products, foreign trade enterprises to exploit market for agricultural goods inspire new ideas.The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs agricultural products and processed products quality supervision and testing Center Shan Jihao Shared the agricultural product quality safety risk control points. He introduced that the narrow sense of agricultural product quality and safety refers to the treatment of agricultural raw materials, processing process and product sales, in a broad sense also involves enterprise institutions and systems, raw material collection and preparation, production process and after-sales and feedback."Quality safety risk control is actually the sum of risk control of the whole quality system activities." According to Shan, the sources of quality and safety risk factors involve personnel, environment, raw materials, standards, equipment, production, storage and transportation. The risks of agricultural product quality and safety are mainly of two types: endogenous production, heavy metals, pollutants and microorganisms brought in during production or cultivation; Exogenous, pesticide residues, veterinary drug residues, food additives, exogenous additives such as melamine, Sudan red, etc."Now the international and domestic trend of quality supervision is more and more strict, foreign trade enterprises should pay special attention to the production of inputs, especially fertilizer, feed." Shan reminded that drugs are available as long as they are properly used and strictly managed, and there is no need to "talk about color changes". In addition, water is also a factor that cannot be ignored. Mr. Shan also mentioned the importance of records, such as the independent filing of equipment to keep records of its use. Records are traceable, transmissible and authentic, and foreign enterprises attach particular importance to such objective proofs, since the source risks can be discovered and resolved from records. He suggested that enterprises should employ legal advisers with relevant professional knowledge, understand the law on Quality safety of agricultural products, food Safety law, etc., clarify relevant laws and regulations, national standards, industry standards and group standards, and help enterprises improve compliance awareness and promote the healthy development of enterprises."Agricultural export risks have soared since February, even surpassing their 2015 highs, and business applications surged in March and April." Wang Binghui, head of agricultural product industry group, Trade insurance Underwriting Department of China Export Communication Insurance Company, analyzed credit risks of agricultural products in overseas markets and gave Suggestions. From the perspective of overseas buyer's market, Asia, Europe and North America are the main export markets of China's agricultural products and the main underwriting markets of the agricultural products industry, accounting for nearly 90%. At the same time, the above areas are also the worst-hit areas of the epidemic, so it has a great impact on China's agricultural exports.Wang mentioned that the risks insured in the agricultural product industry are mainly due to high rejection rate, small amount in a single case (about 100,000 yuan) and many trade disputes (including packaging, storage, shipment and other aspects). Overseas buyers of agricultural products industry are generally weak, the proportion of dealers in the industry is too high, and the turnover risk is too high. The agricultural industry is also subject to overseas policies and laws and regulations such as anti-dumping, import restrictions and inspection and quarantine standards, such as fruit restrictions in Indonesia, seafood restrictions in the European Union and ketchup controls in Nigeria."Globally, the agricultural industry is highly protected by the state, and the export of agricultural products is subject to the policy restrictions of the export destination country." Mr. Wang said the perishable nature of agricultural products is also a source of trade disputes, with some products, such as grains, having commodity properties and subject to price fluctuations. The change of season is when the price fluctuates greatly. For example, ketchup has different production seasons, and the goods of the old production season are not sold before the new production season."No matter the size, as long as the export enterprises need to have the whole process risk management concept." Wang Binghui reminded enterprises from the shipment to the collection of foreign exchange to strengthen risk control; Observe the industrial policy changes in export destination countries and track market changes; Pay attention to whether the buyer's business situation is normal, whether the order is suddenly increased or reduced, etc., analyze the risk and eliminate the risk.Wang Binghui suggested that agricultural enterprises change their thinking and walk on several legs: first, promote industrial innovation and upgrading. "Just selling primary products, high homogeneity, the ability to resist market risk is weak." He pointed out that many places now promote order agriculture, direct with overseas channels to establish stable supply relations, can effectively reduce price fluctuations and contract risk. For example, a county in Chongqing exports citrus to the Singapore supermarket, which is a very good attempt. Make full use of domestic and foreign markets, focus on export to domestic sales, pay attention to domestic credit risk. At the same time to pay attention to marketable, observe the habits of domestic consumers; Accelerate the diversification of market distribution; Establish internal risk warning and disposal mechanism. Business development should be accompanied by the "safety belt" of risk."
