On February 13, 2023, the first document was announced, which clearly proposed to further implement the "digital business to rejuvenate agriculture" and "Internet +" agricultural products out of the village and into the city, encourage the development of agricultural products e-commerce direct procurement, customized production and other models, and build a live broadcast e-commerce base for agricultural and sideline products. In addition, "cultivating and developing the prefabricated food industry" was also proposed for the first time in Document No. 1.
Nandu reporter recently combed and found that in the past year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has responded to the relevant suggestions and proposals for prefabricated dishes, and said in its reply that the relevant departments will continue to strengthen the cultivation of the prefabricated food industry, strengthen policy guidance, strengthen the construction of standard system and differentiated development.
Focus on key key technologies
Strengthen industrial cultivation and support
In the prefabricated food industry, the efficiency and compliance of downstream food raw materials and cold chain processing is the foundation of food safety.
In this regard, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said in the "Reply to Recommendation No. 4152 of the First Session of the 14th National People's Congress" that the relevant departments attach great importance to the preparation of prefabricated food industry planning and related policy documents. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will strengthen policy guidance and encourage food production enterprises to establish cooperative relationships with new agricultural business entities such as farmer cooperatives and family farms through order agriculture and other forms, so as to share the value-added benefits of the whole industrial chain; guide enterprises to strengthen the key technology research of prefabricated dishes and improve the level of equipment; Encourage the prefabricated food industry to gather and exhibit.
In addition, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has also issued and implemented the "Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Cultivation and Development of the Whole Agricultural Industry Chain", proposing to develop the primary processing of agricultural products such as cleaning and sorting, pre-cooling and preservation, fresh cutting of clean vegetables, grading and segmentation, innovative development of prefabricated dishes, cold chain distribution and other formats, and strive to overcome key key technologies such as food pretreatment, filling and packaging.
In the "Letter on the Reply to the Proposal of the First Meeting of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference No. 00043 (No. 009 of the Ministry of Industry and Telecommunications), the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology also said that the relevant departments attach great importance to the construction of the cold chain logistics system, which provides an effective boost for the high-quality development of prefabricated food and other industries. In the next step, the relevant departments will continue to strengthen the cultivation and support of the prefabricated food industry. The first is to accelerate the construction of the standard system. Further strengthen departmental coordination, strengthen the research on the framework of the prefabricated food standard system, guide leading enterprises, scientific research institutes, industry organizations, etc. to participate in the formulation of standards, promote the acceleration of the formulation and introduction of relevant standards for prefabricated dishes, and basically build a standardized framework for the development of the prefabricated food industry. The second is to continue to strengthen industry guidance. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will implement policy documents to support the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries and guide the high-quality development of the prefabricated food industry. The State Administration for Market Regulation will promote the labeling and labeling of ready-to-match (fresh-cut seasoning) prefabricated dishes in a timely manner. The third is to actively promote the expansion of consumption. The Ministry of Commerce will guide local and relevant industry associations to organize and carry out consumption promotion activities, and use important exhibition platforms such as the CIIE and the Consumer Expo to promote high-quality prefabricated food products and brands. Fourth, strengthen infrastructure construction. The Ministry of Commerce will further strengthen the construction of a modern circulation system for agricultural products, improve the backbone network of national agricultural product circulation, accelerate the completion of the shortcomings of cold chain facilities, and strive to strengthen the cross-regional agricultural product wholesale market and the cold chain logistics system of trunk and branch lines, improve the efficiency of cold chain circulation, and reduce circulation loss.
Establish a standard system for prefabricated dishes
Promote the sustainable development of the industry
In the process of making prefabricated dishes, how to ensure food safety also needs to clarify the standard system. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said in the "Reply to Recommendation No. 4152 of the First Session of the 14th National People's Congress" that the construction of a scientific standard system for prefabricated food is the key to promoting the sustainable development of the prefabricated food industry.
In the "Letter on the Reply to the Proposal No. 03394 (No. 160 of the Commercial Supervision Category) of the First Meeting of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference", the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology stated that it would work with the State Administration for Market Supervision and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs to jointly study the framework of the standardization system in the field of prefabricated food, and actively do a good job in the top-level design of standardization in the field of prefabricated dishes. Encourage and support relevant industry associations and alliances in the field of prefabricated dishes to research and formulate group standards related to prefabricated dishes in combination with their own business fields.
