Nowadays food safety has increasingly come to the forefront of public concern. Since the value of China's agricultural exports has been soaring for years, it is essential to enhance the quality awareness of all kinds of agricultural products, said Zhong Shan, vice minister of China's Ministry of Commerce, in a recent government report.
According to statistics, the current state of China's agricultural exports is generally good. China is the world's fifth largest exporter of agricultural products, boasting an export value of 18.68 billion U.S. dollars in the first quarter of 2011, a year-on-year rise of 34.4 percent. From the year 2004 to 2010, the qualification rate of China's agricultural exports has stayed higher than 99 percent.
Although China's agricultural goods are widely recognized and accepted by foreign consumers, there are also many things to be improved, such as the relatively small size of enterprises, insufficient investment in R&D, etc.
