On April 22nd, a busy and orderly production scene came into view in the standardized production workshop of Zhangzhou Pumei Food Co., Ltd. Fresh vegetables, minced meat and other fillings were expertly wrapped into the thin skin like cicada wings, and the workers skillfully flipped, one by one, golden and attractive Spring rolls were rapidly formed. After a series of rigorous processes such as quick freezing and packaging, these Spring rolls full of Fujian flavor successfully passed the inspection of Xiamen Customs, and are about to leave for overseas sales, so that the authentic Fujian seasonal flavor can reach thousands of families overseas.
Spring rolls, dumplings, rice dumpling and other special pastries with stuffing not only contain the seasonal flavor of traditional Chinese food culture, but also carry the good expectation of family reunion. With its authentic taste and convenient and efficient way of consumption, this type of specialty food has gradually captured the taste buds of overseas consumers, and the demand in the overseas market continues to rise. According to Xiamen Customs statistics, in the first quarter of this year, the export value of stuffed noodle products in Fujian Province reached 98.23 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 14.49%, and the export value remained among the top three in the country. Among them, exports to other APEC economies performed particularly well, with a total export value of 69.31 million yuan in the first quarter, a year-on-year increase of 17.34%, demonstrating strong growth momentum in foreign trade.
Zhangzhou Pumei Food Co., Ltd., which is mainly engaged in processing and producing quick frozen vegetarian food, has been keenly aware of this seasonal market demand and has been fully engaged in the production of Spring rolls since January. "The filling of traditional Spring rolls is rich in water, and the quality and taste are easily affected by long-distance transportation and storage. For this reason, we have specially developed special dehydration and quick freezing and fresh locking processes, and scientifically adjusted the filling ratio to make it more suitable for freezing and reheating." Chen Zhiqun, the main person in charge of the company, introduced. In recent years, enterprises have established a full chain quality control system from the source to the finished product, in line with international food safety production standards, laying a solid foundation for opening up overseas markets. The export volume in the first quarter of this year increased by nearly 40% year-on-year.
To assist Fujian's characteristic noodle enterprises in steadily expanding into the international market, Xiamen Customs has launched a series of precise, efficient, heartwarming and pragmatic service measures based on its regulatory functions. By conducting in-depth research on the production, operation, and export needs of enterprises, we tailor a "one enterprise, one policy" assistance plan, continuously track the updates of international food safety standards, and arrange professional personnel to guide enterprises in optimizing production processes and improving quality control systems, helping them accurately break through trade barriers.
In response to the characteristics of short shelf life and high requirements for preservation and transportation of frozen noodles, Xiamen Customs has specially opened a "green channel" for inspection and testing of fresh and perishable agricultural food products, comprehensively promoting priority inspection and "5+2" 24/7 appointment inspection services, and synchronously combining customs clearance facilitation reform measures such as "advance declaration" and "certificate cloud issuance", to accelerate the entire process of inspection, release, and certificate issuance, and fully guarantee the "zero retention and zero delay" customs clearance of Fujian's characteristic noodles, allowing more unique "Fujian flavors" to cross mountains and seas, sell well in the global market, and polish the beautiful business card of Fujian's agricultural food product exports.
