Research on Agricultural Green Supply Chain and Food Safety (1)

Abstract: With the development of China's economy and society and the improvement of people's living standards, the issue of food safety has received more and more attention, and has become a key factor affecting China's agricultural international competitiveness. Based on the importance and urgency of food safety issues, from the perspective of establishing a green supply chain for agricultural products, this paper analyzes the potential safety hazards in various aspects of the agricultural product supply chain, and specifically proposes green procurement, green production, and green processing. Green sales, green logistics, green consumption, and waste recycling management and recycling of green supply chain management models for agricultural products, and relying on agricultural science and technology, information and finance as their service support system, establish a sound agricultural product quality inspection and certification system, Standardizes on the entire agricultural supply chain and strictly controls market access, so as to strengthen the management of the green supply chain of agricultural products, produce high-efficiency, high-quality and safe agricultural products, increase the market competitiveness of agricultural products, and ensure food for the people. Safety, promote the sustainable development of China's agricultural industry.

1 The basic ideas and operational mechanism of green supply chain management of agricultural products

1.1 Basic ideas

The concept of the Green Supply Chain (GSC) was put forward in 1996. It differs from the general supply chain in that it is a modern management model that comprehensively considers environmental impact and resource efficiency in the entire supply chain through the supply chain. The efforts of all sectors to achieve environmental protection and improve economic efficiency, reduce the harm caused by the entire production activities to humans and the environment, and ultimately achieve the optimization of economic and environmental benefits.

The Agricultural Product Green Supply Chain (APGSC) includes a series of economic activities including pre-production, mid-production, post-production processing, circulation, and consumption. It is based on green manufacturing theory and supply chain management technology, and involves agricultural use. Material suppliers, farmers, agricultural enterprises, agricultural product sellers and consumers are a modern management model that comprehensively considers food safety and resource efficiency throughout the supply chain. Its purpose is to standardize agricultural production by strictly controlling the procurement of production materials. Throughout the process of planting and processing, packaging and transportation, to produce high-yield, high-quality, high-efficiency agricultural products; and promote green consumption, so that consumers eat safe and high-quality assured food to ensure food safety for the people.

The green supply chain management (SCM) of agricultural products is a variety of activities and processes for planning, coordination, control, and optimization of logistics, information flow, and capital flow in the entire supply chain system, through standardized production, processing, and packaging of agricultural products. Storage and transportation, etc., enable customers to obtain the correct number of safe, high-quality foods at the right time and place, and minimize the total cost.

1.2 Operational mechanism

1.2.1 The green supply chain management of agricultural products includes all links and processes from seedling cultivation to field management, agricultural and livestock aquatic product processing, preservation and distribution, marketing, and waste recycling. The structural system is shown in the figure below.

1.2.2 The supply chain shall implement green procurement, green production, green processing, green logistics (including sales), green consumption, and recycling and recycling of waste.

1.2.3 In the agricultural product supply chain main line, the agricultural industry is closely related to many other industries, such as seed seedlings, chemical fertilizers, pesticides, packaging, storage and transportation, relying on agricultural science and technology, information, finance, and logistics as its service support system. Standardization is consistent throughout the entire agricultural supply chain, and through the establishment of a sound agricultural product quality inspection and certification system, strict market access, improve the market competitiveness of agricultural products, safeguard food safety, and promote the sustainable development of China's agricultural industry Development [1].

1.2.4 The calculation formula of the supply chain is: 6-1 = 0. Each link is integrated and indispensable. Regardless of the problems in that link, it is impossible to achieve the goal of food safety. Therefore, the supply chain management is not a separate management of the link, but the entire supply chain should be strictly controlled as a system.

2 Food Safety Hazards in Various Links of China's Agricultural Supply Chain

2.1 Raw Material Supply Chain

2.1.1 Quality of agricultural materials and after-sales service issues

According to a survey conducted by the China Consumers Association on the quality and service of agricultural products in 21 provinces and cities published on January 25, 2005, the quality of agricultural materials such as seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, and agricultural machinery has become the most concern for rural consumers. And the issue of importance. In the aspect of seeds: the quality of seeds is outstanding, adulteration is serious, and the publicity of seeds in the production and sales of seeds is widespread. For example, more than 2,000 farmer households in Chengdu purchased rape seeds that were promoted by a certain subsidiary company and did not perform seeding tests. As a result, soil and weather conditions were unfavorable, resulting in a germination rate of only 45% to 30% for 4,200 hectares of rapeseed. In terms of pesticides, there are four major problems in rural pesticide quality and after-sales service: First, counterfeit pesticides pit agricultural farmers; Second, some pesticide operators do not fulfill their obligation to truthfully inform, unauthorized use of pesticides to expand the scope of use; Third, poor guidance of pesticide service; Fourth, the quality of pesticide business operators is low. In terms of chemical fertilizers, farmers were satisfied with the quality of chemical fertilizers, accounting for 46%; 46% were rated “general” for fertilizer quality; and 8% were dissatisfied with fertilizer quality evaluation.

2.1.2 Feed Safety Issues

The abuse of illicit drugs in the production and feeding of feed, excessive use of veterinary drugs in excess of the scope, and excessive feed hygienic indicators have brought great hidden dangers to food safety. In the second half of 2002, a total of 258 batches of samples of national feed and feed additive quality supervision and spot checks were tested for illicit drugs and illegally added drugs. Among these unqualified samples, 7.2% were found to be stable and stable; 4.3% were detected as olaquindox; 2.3% were detected as oxytetracycline; 1.4% were detected as chlortetracycline; and Clenbuterol was detected Luo accounted for 0.5%; furazolidone was detected in 0.4%. In addition, in the 1650 batches of unqualified products detected by spot check, the health indicators exceeded the standards: 130 batches of lead, which accounted for 7.8% of all unqualified samples, batches of aflatoxin B175, which accounted for 4.5% of all unqualified samples. Salmonella 42 batches, accounting for 2.5% of all substandard samples [2].

2.1.3 In the management of agricultural production materials, laws, regulations, and standards are not perfect, detection methods are not perfect, and supervision is weak. Although the crackdown on agricultural production materials continues to increase, the production and sales of fake and shoddy products continue to be prohibited, posing a serious threat to food safety.
