China's organic product certification work was born in 1994. The Nanjing Environmental Protection Research Institute of the State Environmental Protection Administration, by drawing on, studying, and applying the certification standards and certification procedures of the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM) and those of Europe and the United States, pioneered China's organic product certification work. Sixteen years have passed since then, and China's organic product certification management system has basically taken shape, with the Certification and Accreditation Administration of the People's Republic of China (CNCA) exercising centralized management over organic product certification work. The China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment (CNAS) is responsible for the accreditation and supervision of certification bodies. The China Certification and Accreditation Association (CCAA) is responsible for industry self-discipline supervision and the registration and management of inspectors, among other duties.บทความมาจากFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/th/11247/

China's population ranks first in the world, accounting for about one quarter of the world's total population, and China's total population is comparable to the combined population of the organic markets of Europe, the United States, and Japan, which currently have the largest organic product sales. In order to enable China's organic products to enter the international market smoothly, Liaoning Fangyuan Organic Food Certification Company (FOFCC) has established cooperative relations with certification bodies in Italy and Brazil recognized by the European Union and the United States (QC&I/IBD) (already reported to CNCA for approval). China's organic food market is rising day by day and has broad prospects.บทความมาจากFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/th/11247/
At the same time, some high-income groups in China have demand for imported organic products. In order to enable foreign organic food to enter the Chinese market, foreign organic product distributors have begun to turn their attention to China's organic food consumer market and have requested Chinese certification bodies to conduct certification abroad. In accordance with customer applications, we have begun to conduct certification at foreign organic product production bases and processing plants.บทความมาจากFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/th/11247/
At present, our company (FOFCC) has sent inspectors to Thailand to conduct certification of the applied-for rice planting base and processing plant. If certification is passed, genuine Thai organic rice will soon enter the Chinese market; in accordance with customer applications, our company also plans to go abroad this year to conduct certification of sugarcane and fruit planting bases and processing plants.
