On April 16, the “Editor's Perspective” column of People's Daily published a commentary titled “Fake and Inferior Products: Whether You Regulate or Not Makes a Big Difference,” which affirmed the achievements of the Certification and Accreditation Administration of the People's Republic of China (hereinafter referred to as "CNCA"), together with relevant departments, in starting with the improvement of the organic product certification system, tightening certification requirements and supervision, cracking down on fake and inferior organic products, and regulating the order of the organic market.บทความมาจากFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/th/11417/
The commentary stated that as consumer demand for organic products has grown increasingly, “for a time, the organic product market presented a state of chaos with good and bad mixed together, and genuine and fake intermingled. Products bearing ‘organic labels” proliferated in market information, exaggerated and false advertising prevailed, the use of organic product certification marks was irregular, and problems such as chaotic certification bodies and certification granted for payment became prominent, making it difficult for consumers to distinguish genuine from fake products, and cases of consumers being cheated and suffering losses occurred from time to time." บทความมาจากFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/th/11417/
The commentary said that in response to these problems, CNCA adopted a series of measures, including formulating a certification product catalog, revising certification implementation rules, establishing a “one product, one code” traceability system, and intensifying law enforcement and rectification efforts, so as to strengthen organic product certification supervision. “The newly revised Organic Product Certification Implementation Rules impose stricter requirements on the production, processing, labeling, sales standards, and certification of organic products, are more operable, and are more convenient for consumer supervision.” At the same time, “consumers can verify authenticity through the China Food and Agricultural Products Certification Information System, which provides great convenience for consumers to participate in supervision and sharply increases the risk of counterfeit products. The new rules also intensify testing, undercover inspections, and other efforts.” บทความมาจากFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/th/11417/
The commentary pointed out that “after the implementation of the new rules, a large number of unqualified enterprises were eliminated. Consumers clearly feel that there are “many fewer organic products” on the market.“ ”Compared with previous years, the organic market environment should be said to have improved considerably." บทความมาจากFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/th/11417/
The commentary emphasized that “this shows that whether government regulation acts or fails to act, whether the regulatory system is complete and feasible, whether consumers” supervisory role can be brought into play, and whether anti-counterfeiting efforts are effective are all crucial.“ ”For those commercial fraud industries that are pervasive, widespread, seriously trouble consumers, and disrupt market order, we should be as serious as we are with organic products." บทความมาจากFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/th/11417/
In recent years, in response to the problems existing in organic products, CNCA, under the leadership of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, together with relevant departments, has improved the organic product certification and supervision management system and actively carried out special actions to crack down on fake and inferior organic product certification certificates and marks. It has successively revoked or canceled 613 problematic organic product certification certificates and 11 organic product certification bodies, thereby ensuring the effectiveness of organic product certification and promoting the healthy development of China's organic products.บทความมาจากFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/th/11417/
