New Zealand, which has only 26, 80,000 square kilometres of small countries, is an "ideal country" for many parents in China, because it exports http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/5456.html to China every year through various means "> Infant formula. However, the "ideal country" has also started to tighten exports, in September 2, the New Zealand Ministry of Primary industry (Min istry Forp rimary in du Strie S, hereinafter referred to as MP I) announced on its official website that it would join New Zealand Customs to launch joint action to curb the illegal export of domestic infant formula.
New Zealand infant formula exports strong demand
According to New Zealand law, only agents registered with the government department can export dairy products including infant formula, and others are illegal to bring dairy products abroad by mail. Some legal people say to reporters in south, the New Zealand government introduced the "Animal Products Act" in 1999, however, in the more than 10 years, the mail and other "illegal way" export milk powder, the relevant departments have been eye closed eye, especially in recent years, in China's domestic demand for New Zealand milk powder situation, A large number of local Chinese or foreign students in the local procurement of milk powder, and then sent to China through logistics companies, and even caused the local supermarket milk shortage. However, the response to this is only to limit the amount of milk powder per person each time, before the mailing of milk powder This behavior has any clean-up. The New Zealand government decided at this time to take action, and only for infant formula, quite intriguing.
Dairy exports are one of the key pillars of New Zealand's economy, and according to the data provided by M Pi, at least 90% of New Zealand's dairy products are exported each year, bringing economic gains of more than 13 billion New Zealand dollars (about 66.3 billion yuan), of which infant formula only accounts for a relatively small proportion, About 4.5 billion yuan, but in Asian countries, especially China, the growth rate is fast, and the annual illegal export of infant formula is about 1.500 million New Zealand dollars (about 750 million yuan), the overall size is not too big, so this time to crack down on the export of illegal infant formula milk powder, It embodies the game between traders, local consumers and governments, and the most demanding Chinese consumers have no say in this.
G Lenn EAL, an official with the New Zealand m Pi Food and beverage division, recently told outside media that they note that the export volume of infant formula has soared in recent years, mainly in Asia, while a large number of relevant people or institutions are engaged in the export of milk powder illegally, Most of them may not be aware that they have violated the law, so the first step for the government is to remind these Parties that they should comply with the relevant laws. In addition, he has not forgotten that this action is not related to food safety, New Zealand milk powder is still one of the world's most popular export products.
There are local in New Zealand to engage in milk powder purchase of the Pagoda (alias) in recent years, the local consumers in New Zealand often suffer in the supermarket can not buy infant formula, because like them to do the purchasing, basically with the supermarket set up a long-term cooperative relationship, each is a large quantity of stock, Because there is no market at all in China, this leads to the fact that supermarkets have little or no stock at all. Some local consumers go to the supermarket to buy milk powder, in extreme cases, even to run four or five supermarkets to buy a can of powdered milk. In the past one or two years, the government has implemented restricted purchases in many supermarkets, and the situation has eased slightly.
Milk powder export or a minority game
According to New Zealand law, all milk powder exports must have the following conditions to be allowed to export: 1. The individual or company has a New Zealand D Ariyexporter Certificate and has passed the R M P (riskm anagem ENT program) risk certification; 2. The means of transport must be a food carrier registered in the Ministry of Agriculture; 3. The supplier must pass the RM P certification.
It is understood that since all the supermarkets in New Zealand do not have R MP certification, so temporarily all can not export. It is estimated that large wholesalers will get R M P at the end of the month, but the qualification is not geared toward individual consumers. This means that, perhaps one months later, New Zealand milk powder will continue to supply domestic, but will become a small number of business games.
A number of New Zealand milk powder purchasing agents told reporters that the current customs embargo has begun, short-term estimates are not too optimistic, currently only a very small amount can be transported through E M s, but this cost to rise a lot. and qualified agents and milk powder manufacturers to government restrictions on exports are welcome.
"Infant formula is one of New Zealand's most important export resources and must be properly protected," said Infantn Utritioncouncil, CEO of the New Zealand Milk Powder Industry Association, who Jancarey recently. In addition, she highlighted China, and she thinks China should be able to understand how New Zealand's governments are curbing the flow of milk powder through improper channels.
