Seize the opportunity of "fresh" machines, Jining fruit and vegetable juice exports grow by over 40%

On July 7th, the production line of Jindeli Food Co., Ltd. in Jinxiang County was operating at full capacity in the production workshop.

This is a backbone enterprise for exporting Jining fruit and vegetable juice, with products covering multiple categories such as carrot juice, onion juice, strawberry juice, etc., exported to multiple countries and regions.

This year, overseas orders have grown rapidly, especially for carrot juice and onion paste. Foreign customers are constantly urging for delivery, "said Jiang Yong, the head of the company's foreign trade department, as he counted the containers to be shipped overseas." Fruit and vegetable juice is most afraid of delays. The shipping schedule is tight, the shelf life is short, and customs clearance is delayed by one day. Once it reaches the customer's hands, it may pass the best sales window

In response to the characteristics of fruit and vegetable juice exports, Jining Customs, a subsidiary of Qingdao Customs, has launched a "one enterprise, one policy" facilitation measure. In the customs clearance process, the customs has opened up a "green channel" for fresh and perishable agricultural products, implementing "immediate reporting and inspection, immediate release", and reducing the average clearance time to less than 3 hours. The customs simultaneously implement the "advance appointment+centralized inspection" model to match the production pace and shipping schedule of enterprises to the greatest extent possible.

Nowadays, we basically apply for inspection and release on the same day. Last week, a batch of carrot juice was declared in the morning and released in the afternoon, just in time for the shipping schedule, "Jiang Yong said. The most direct effect of improving efficiency is the increase in customer trust." In the past, customers dared not place urgent orders, but now we have the confidence to accept them, the shipment is guaranteed, and the repurchase rate has significantly increased

At the same time, Jining Customs is also guiding enterprises to improve the audit and traceability system of raw material suppliers on the raw material side, controlling food safety indicators such as pesticide residues and heavy metals from the source, and helping enterprises benchmark export destination country standards on the production side to investigate compliance risks item by item.

Compliance is the lifeline for exporting food, "said Gong Yufei, Deputy Director of the Inspection and Quarantine Department of Jining Customs. While guarding the safety bottom line, the customs helps enterprises grasp changes in target market rules in advance and avoid risks through policy propaganda, technical and trade measures warning, and other means.

Customs statistics show that in the first five months of this year, the export value of fruit and vegetable juice from Jining's jurisdiction reached 10.66 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 45%. The export categories are mainly carrot juice, onion juice, and peach juice, which are popular in multiple overseas markets.

From farmland to dining tables, Jining fruit and vegetable juice is expanding overseas markets at a faster pace and with more stable quality. Next, Jining Customs will focus on the clearance needs of enterprises during the peak export season, continuously optimize the "green channel" and appointment inspection mechanism, strengthen the promotion of technical and trade measures information, and help the fruit and vegetable juices in the jurisdiction to go faster and more steadily in overseas markets.
