Japan develops "beef ID card"

Introduction: Recently, Japan has awakened from the nightmare of mad cow disease From the initial panic, to today's effective response, strive to limit the impact of BSE to a minimum, and even to protect their own interests, Japan's BSE countermeasures are indeed intriguing Six groups, including Japan's National Agricultural Association, announced that they would buy up the beef before the comprehensive examination of BSE on October 18 last year, freeze and seal up, and isolate the market, as part of the strategy for BSE, in order to reassure consumers, the Japan agricultural news reported recently This batch of beef is about 12600 tons, and the Ministry of agriculture, forestry and Fisheries plans to spend 20 billion yen to burn them all On the other hand, in order to thoroughly investigate the epidemic situation of mad cow disease, a comprehensive inspection of this batch of beef began on April 25 At the same time, local governments are strengthening supervision over beef production and circulation Following the introduction of the "beef ID card" system in Hiroshima County, Yuyu county is also establishing an individual information and resume system for cattle Each cow has a number and a seal on the beef with the date of slaughter written on it If customers want to get more detailed information, they can connect to the Internet through store computers, Confirm the origin, breed, date of birth and slaughter, and circulation process of cattle The government spoke highly of this measure At the end of April, the Japanese Minister of agriculture and water affairs, sambuqin, visited Britain, Switzerland and other countries to exchange views with relevant countries on the issue of mad cow disease, reviewed Japan's major mistakes in responding to the problem of mad cow disease, and focused on the beef production and circulation supervision system that Japan is establishing Burning a huge amount of beef shows that Japan is determined to say goodbye to the past on mad cow disease Although mad cow plague may not turn into ashes, it can dispel the panic of consumers to some extent, and reduce their psychological burden when eating beef The beef ID card system is based on the present and facing the future, which tells consumers: the beef in front of them It's absolutely reliable You just need to be assured to eat boldly It is worth noting that the biggest beneficiaries of the "beef ID card" system are Japanese farmers and the food processing industry, not other countries This is because Japan's cattle are produced and sold by itself, the link from breeding to sales is basically closed, and it is easy to establish the "ID card" system, while imported beef is difficult to have such a convincing certification for consumers Even if foreign beef enters the Japanese market, it will be difficult to win the favor of consumers due to its unclear breeding and circulation process Therefore, the beef market in Japan is now "a happy family with a few worries" Although the overall level of beef consumption has declined significantly, the sales volume of "he Niu" in Gifu county has increased steadily The reason is that its reproduction, feeding, processing and sales have a clear context Although the price of "and beef" is very high, and Japanese consumption is tight due to the economic downturn, for the sake of safety, most people still have to eat "and beef" to eat beef When Japanese beef market opened to the outside world 20 years ago, Japanese domestic "he Niu" was in trouble But this time, under the shock of mad cow disease panic, because of the establishment of beef production and circulation supervision system in Japan, "he Niu" was on fire Moreover, with the promotion of "beef ID card," he Niu "will become more and more popular The farmers and food industry of European countries suffering from mad cow disease suffered heavy losses, while in Japan, "he Niu" was the only one The secret of this is the system established by Japan, which caters to the psychology of consumers and protects their own interests objectively.
