On February 26, the Ministry of Transport held a regular press conference in Beijing.
At the press conference, Sun Wenjian, spokesperson of the Ministry of Transport, introduced that in December 2009, the Ministry of Transport and the National Development and Reform Commission jointly issued the "Notice on Further Improving and Implementing the Green Channel Policy for the Transport of Fresh Agricultural Products". The vehicles for the “green channel” policy for the transportation of fresh agricultural products are clearly defined, and there are three main aspects.
First, the fresh and live agricultural products loaded belong to the range of free varieties.
Fresh agricultural products must be included in the range of free varieties. The "Notice" clearly lists the "Catalogue of Fresh Agricultural Products" that can enjoy the free policy, including fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, fresh aquatic products, and fresh meat, eggs, milk, etc. There are 128 specific varieties or categories in the broad category, these varieties basically meet the daily needs of the people.
The second is to meet the requirements of vehicle loading.
How is this vehicle loading defined?
For vehicles that enjoy the "green channel" policy, the fresh agricultural products loaded should account for more than 80% of the vehicle's approved load quality or compartment volume, and there is no mixing with non-fresh agricultural products.
The third is to meet the requirements of legal loading and transportation.
Vehicles that counterfeit, illegally exceed the limit and overload the transportation of fresh and live agricultural products, and those that have other illegal acts, refuse to pass through designated lanes or refuse to accept inspection, do not enjoy the "green channel" policy.
