On May 6, 200 tons of peanuts exported to the EU were cleared in Qingdao. The difference is that the export company did not wait for the official "health certificate" issued by the customs, but directly contacted the booking export for shipment. This is nearly 20%. In recent years, China's first peanuts without an official "health certificate" have been exported to the European Union.
With the improvement of the export quality of peanut processing and production enterprises in Shandong Province, the number of batches of notification of excessive aflatoxin in peanut exports from the European Union to China has gradually decreased. Health Certificate" and the percentage of random inspections of peanuts imported from China has been lowered from 20% to 10%.
The peanuts produced in Shandong are of high quality and unique flavor, and are very popular in the international market. The European Union has always been an important export market for Shandong peanuts. However, due to the problem of peanut aflatoxin pollution, the related trade has not been smoothly developed.
With the implementation of the latest EU regulations, Shandong peanut export enterprises will become the biggest beneficiaries.
Shandong is a major exporter of agricultural products in China, and the export of agricultural products has ranked first in China for 22 consecutive years.
Peanuts are one of the largest exports of single-variety agricultural products in Shandong. The annual export volume of peanuts to the EU accounts for about 85% of China's. In 2020, Shandong exports 51,000 tons of EU peanuts.
According to preliminary statistics, there are currently hundreds of thousands of people engaged in peanut planting and processing in Shandong, and there are more than 190 export peanut production enterprises in the Qingdao customs area alone.
