China may ship pome fruits to Chile
Yesterday, the Chinese inspection service confirmed that the provinces of Shandong, Henan and Shaanxi could export their apples to Chile.
The opening of the Chilean market for Chinese apples originates in a guarantee of access granted to the apples of Gansu in 2011. The most recent agreement was described as an important achievement in the expansion of international trade by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of China (AQSIQ). The agreement came shortly after the opening of another market for Chinese pome, specifically for the Sandy Pear, last year, when they were granted access to the United States.
In October, a group of representatives of the Ministry of Agriculture of Chile visited China to confirm the fruits' quality and disease control standards, as well as to see the operations in the orchards and packing facilities. Following this, the representatives of the ministry felt that the Chinese facilities complied with the established protocols.
Currently, 16 orchards and 10 packaging facilities have been authorized to process the apples for the Chilean market. Meanwhile, the AQSIQ highlighted the feat by the Province of Henan as it was the first time that they were going to export plant products to the international market.

Shanghai encourages the development of new feed additives to replace antibiotics.
From January to August of this year, the Shanghai Municipal Agricultural Commission investigated and dealt with a wide variety of violations totalling 61 cases of veterinary drugs and feed infractions, including fine and forfeiture cases amounting to 770,000 CNY as well as 2 cases involving excessive antibiotic residues in animal feed.
On September 26th, the Agriculture Commission released a statement titled “Proposed solutions to animal feed antibiotics and other residues in aquaculture in food safety issues”, claiming that Shanghai will continue to encourage and guide those enterprises who have ideals of innovation as well as the capability to develop new feed additives which are more “green”, are pollution-free, can replace the function of new antibiotics, and spare no efforts to provide greater services to support further enterprise technological innovation.
Xu Li, a member of the Municipal People’s Congress, pointed out in a written statement that due to the overuse of antibiotics in animal feed additives, there has been an increase in antibiotic residue in animal meat, potentially causing serious and hazardous harm to people as well as a negative impact on the ecological environment and the further development of animal husbandry. Xu advises to strengthen supervision and technological innovation in order to combat this threatening problem. The Agriculture Commission has also supported this viewpoint by claiming that the city of Shanghai has begun to implement policies to strengthen supervision of various veterinary feed additive enterprises and plan to conduct full coverage inspections on the 188 feed and feed additive manufacturing enterprises this year.
