On March 29, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs held a press conference to introduce the relevant situation of the "Chinese Fishery Policy Liangjian" fishery policy enforcement work.
In response to the question "Why are there new enforcement actions on inputs for aquaculture in'China Fishery's Liangjian 2021'?", Liu Xinzhong, director of the Fisheries and Fisheries Administration Bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, responded that the quality and safety of aquatic products are important for the products provided by the industry. focus point.
An important factor affecting the quality and safety of aquatic products is the inputs used in aquaculture, including veterinary drugs, feed and feed additives. The supervision of the production, operation and use of these products is related to the quality and safety of aquatic products and the safety of the ecological environment of the water area. The vital interests of the broad masses of the people.
Liu Xinzhong said that the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has always attached great importance to the supervision of inputs for aquatic product breeding and continued to crack down on related illegal activities. The quality and safety of aquatic products has also been maintained at a relatively high or very high level.
However, in recent years, some companies have deliberately circumvented supervision and mixed fish in the name of so-called “non-pharmaceuticals” and “water quality improvers”, and produced and sold fake and inferior inputs to farmers. This has caused hidden dangers to quality and ecological safety and threatened them. The interests of the vast majority of fishermen and the health of consumers make it imperative to rectify this behavior.
Liu Xinzhong stated that the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has decided to start the standardized use of inputs for aquaculture this year as an important part of the "Bright Sword" action, and requires local agricultural and rural departments to carry out special rectification for three consecutive years to speed up the restoration of a good order of standardized use of inputs for aquaculture and ensure that The broad masses of people consume aquatic products "safe on the tip of the tongue" to protect the ecological environment of the waters.
At the same time, we will unblock reporting channels, give full play to the role of social supervision, and build a good rectification pattern with strict control by the responsible departments and extensive public participation, so that everyone can eat with peace of mind.
