China News Service, July 3rd, Hu Jianping, deputy director of the Market Construction Department of the Ministry of Commerce, said on the 3rd that in some large cities, due to high rents and other factors, some markets have put aquatic products, meat and other fresh agricultural products underground. If the ventilation and cleaning are not in place, it will bring some hidden dangers of health and epidemic prevention. In the next step, we will actively cooperate with relevant departments to guide the market to strengthen management, do a good job in killing and epidemic prevention, and at the same time guide the market to adjust the functional divisions and transfer fresh agricultural products to the ground to create a safer and more comfortable consumption environment.
At the press conference of the Joint Defense and Joint Control Mechanism of the State Council held this afternoon. A reporter asked: Some netizens reported that viruses and bacteria are prone to breed in the closed market, and there is a high risk of biological pollution and epidemic prevention. It is recommended that the closed agricultural product market be dismantled nationwide and let the sunshine air enter to help natural killing. What's your comment on this suggestion?
In his response, Hu Jianping also stated that the quality of the agricultural market facilities directly affected the operating environment and consumer experience. From the perspective of developed countries in Europe and America, agricultural products wholesale transactions are carried out in closed halls. In the last century, my country's agricultural product market was dominated by open-air transactions. After years of transformation, most of the wholesale and retail have entered the shed to ensure that agricultural products can be traded normally in any season and in bad weather conditions.
