The main channel for the import of Jiangsu milk into Australia

A few days ago, Jiangsu Province successfully opened a fast track for the direct import of Australian milk in the Suzhou High-tech Zone Comprehensive Insurance Zone. As of the end of October, the country imported 270 tons of pasteurized fresh milk from Australia, and imported 195 tons from the Suzhou port, accounting for 72% of the total import volume. The Suzhou port has become the main channel for importing fresh milk from Australia. And this radiation to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Nanjing and other places. According to the importer's forecast, China will import 20 million liters of fresh milk each year, with a value of 700 million yuan.

According to Dai Aihua, the manager of the Department of Commerce of Suzhou Qianlong Trading Co., Ltd., the fresh milk imported from Australia is heated at a temperature of 74°C for 15 seconds, keeping the active ingredients of fresh milk, and transported and stored at a temperature of 0 to 4°C. However, the shelf life is only a short 19 days. Contains products from the Australian factory down-stream to Chinese consumers. According to the previous work process, fresh milk must be tested at the output of China for five days before passing the test. After passing the test, it will be transported to China via the 1st Sky. After passing the inspection of the local inspection and quarantine agency for 5 days, it will be provided to the consumers and left with fresh milk. The shelf life is only 8 days. In order to shorten the inspection cycle of products and enable the products to be put into the market as soon as possible, the Suzhou Inspection and Quarantine Department has implemented service projects for innovation and foreign and domestic inspections at the same time; the inspection results have been compared by both parties and released in unanimously, and 11 days have become 7 days, constraining the shelf life of fresh milk. The difficulty is solved. Suzhou Inspection and Quarantine Bureau also set up a special post for Qianlong Company's import of fresh milk, set up three special channels for inspection, inspection, and inspection. From the time of acceptance of the inspection to the release of the permit, the dedicated channel has no green light for holidays for 24 hours.

In order to ensure the quality and safety of all imported fresh milk, Suzhou Inspection and Quarantine Bureau is based on risk analysis, takes the whole process supervision as a chain, automatic temperature records from the whole process of cold chain transportation, and controls the entire process of storage temperature, through special import. The food informatization supervision system and on-site video monitoring system, etc., implement centralized and low-temperature storage, safety control, and access to warehouse processes for imported pasteurized fresh milk, implementing strict and efficient supervision and management, and establishing a whole-process traceability system and quality. Guarantee accountability. Since the implementation of the import project in March, there has been no incident of quality risk and no quality complaints from any consumer. This has ensured the “security on the tongue” of consumers.

This move has even triggered the "butterfly effect." Recently, New Zealand Fonterra company visited Suzhou Inspection and Quarantine Bureau and made a request for the import of fresh milk and high temperature sterilized milk from the Suzhou Port. Food importers such as Nestle and COFCO's “My Buy Network” also use Suzhou as the main port for imported food.
