Original title: Salt reform four months of smooth and normal operation of all parties across the province to sell salt is still blocked
On January 1 this year, a "change the millennium monopoly system" reform - the salt industry system reform began. Now, four months into the reform process, the performance of the market and industry can be described as "ice and fire."
market has been unsuming: prices are stable, supplies are plentiful, and consumers in general are not even aware that reforms are under way.
industry ups and downs: from time to time from all over the salt cross-provincial detention information, there are media even exclaimed "salt cross-provincial operation of the melee."
is this the case with the salt reform? The reporter made some understanding and combing about the situation of the first quarter of the salt reform.
Salt reform implementation of a quarter, all parties run smoothly and normally
prices are basically stable, reserves and supply is sufficient, market competition situation formed

first of all, the price of salt is basically stable. Because China's salt production industry also exists overcapacity, so this year before the liberalization of salt prices, there are experts to make a judgment, after the liberalization of prices, salt prices will not rise and fall, but should be stable in the decline. According to the information of the salt price evaluation center of the relevant departments, this judgment is basically correct, the price of salt has dropped by about 3% in 3 months.
reporters in the supermarket saw that there are five varieties of salt, prices range from two yuan to five yuan, shelves piled up full. Price stability at the same time, different varieties of price differences began to appear, in Beijing supermarkets, the cheapest salt list price of about 1 yuan, high-grade salt to about 11 yuan. The change in salt price is more significant in the food processing industry. Soy sauce plants, pickle factories and condiment production enterprises and other large salt households with salt costs significantly reduced, the price reduction range of 30%-50%. For example, a soy sauce factory in Guangzhou, the price of salt for production has dropped by nearly 50%, and this expenditure alone has been reduced by about 100 million yuan a year.
sign of the stability of the stock market is that the supply of salt reserves is currently stable and adequate. After the 2011 earthquake in Japan, China had a salt rush, when the most exaggerated Mr. Wuhan spent nearly 27,000 yuan in three shops to buy 260 bags, a total of 13,000 pounds of salt. To calm the storm that has ripple through the country, the country must have sufficient salt reserves.
the implementation of the salt reform, the ability of salt prices to remain basically stable also depends on the adequacy of reserves and supplies. Recent research and supervision results of the National Development and Reform Commission show that the provinces from December to now reserves normal, the government and enterprises salt reserves are quite in place, enough to meet the salt retail market demand for three months. At the same time, the market is rich in varieties, from the past three or five varieties to the current dozen salts. For a long time there was only one brand in the provinces, such as Beijing, which is the Chinese salt brand, and now five or six provinces have entered the Beijing market.
in the case of stable prices, adequate supply, salt market competition has begun to take shape. Under the old salt franchise system, the salt market is the provinces "cut", "foreign salt" do not want to insert a needle. The New Deal on Salt Reform broke the situation of salt production and marketing "painting the land as a prison" and allowed cross-provincial operations.
the demolition of the "land-sealing fence", to the salt enterprises planted wings, have begun cross-provincial competition. In Beijing alone, 107 companies have filed with the Commerce Commission and are about to enter the Beijing market. The formation of competitive situation, has let enterprises taste the sweetness. The aforementioned Guangzhou soy sauce factory, is through the national tender, the past 800 yuan a ton of production salt, down to the current 400 yuan a ton. Salt manufacturers are riveted enough to find ways to improve facilities, improve quality, rich varieties, in the future market to establish a foothold, improve the share. Enterprise initiative, the industry development momentum is sufficient, mixed reform, joint and other restructuring trends have begun to emerge.
, public opinion is also an important sign of whether the operation of salt reform is stable. According to the big data research of the State Information Center, about 85% of the public are positive about salt reform, and public opinion generally reflects well.
Across the province to sell salt blocked, some areas are still in line with the old rules
in the first quarter of a number of salt companies in Jiangsu, Guizhou, Henan and other provinces sales encountered "deduction", "national character" has not been spared

this year's implementation of the "salt industry reform program" reform is not small, not only to liberalize the price of salt, more importantly, clear two points: salt production enterprises can sell their own salt, provincial salt wholesale enterprises can sell salt across provinces. The loosening of the two ropes broke the lack of competition in the salt industry, which had a history of thousands of years of franchises, and the inter-regional fences were removed. However, the foreign salt came, naturally will crowd out the local salt market, so, the conflict appeared, "salt deduction" in cross-provincial operations repeatedly appear.
it is reported that from January to March this year, there have been eight salt companies in Jiangsu, Guizhou, Henan and other provinces when the sale of salt encountered seizures, by the local salt industry seized more than 2000 tons of salt. Even China Salt Corporation, such as the "national character" giant has not been spared, in Shaanxi, Jiangsu was detained more than 1000 tons of salt, the number of seizures more than 100 times.
withholding salt is not because of a problem with the quality of the salt, but basically because it is "suspected of operating illegally and illegally". The basic basis for the so-called violations is still the 1996 Salt Franchise Measures. For example, salt companies are required to obtain local wholesale salt permits, must buy salt from local wholesale enterprises, and so on. According to the Notice of the State Council on the Issue of the Salt Industry Reform Program, which was implemented on January 1 this year, salt enterprises can operate across provinces as long as they obtain a permit in their territories, and only need to report to the local Salt Bureau when operating across provinces, without any administrative permission.
, the salt-seized enterprises have been vocal, condemning the salt deduction, and do not hesitate to work with the salt management department on the book public. "In the absence of any evidence, the Jiangsu Salt Administration, in the name of internal notice, imposed administrative penalties in the name of local protectionism in the name of food safety," said a statement from China Salt Shanghai Salt Company. It not only violates the spirit of the reform plan of the salt industry system of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, but also destroys the just image of the administrative law enforcement departments. "
salt reform has a clear timetable, not "extended reform
all places should be implemented in accordance with the reform program, no one has any reason to hold their own vested interests

present, China's salt industry, the separation of government and enterprises has not yet been completed, salt policy and salt enterprises are inextricably linked. Some are two brands, a set of horses, and some are divine in shape. Salt government salt enterprise family, both as a referee and as an athlete, justice or not is difficult to monitor. Therefore, the separation of government and enterprises has become the key to the implementation of salt reform.
At present, the General Office of the National Development and Reform Commission and the General Office of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology have issued a "Notice on the further implementation of the reform of the salt industry system", clearly requiring all regions to speed up the separation of government and enterprises, there are requirements and timetables: "the people's governments of provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the Central Government should resolutely cancel the salt permit, salt retail license and other administrative approval matters that do not conform to the spirit of the Program." If the provincial, municipal and county salt industry authorities or salt quality and safety management and supervision bodies are not separated from the salt industry companies, a plan for the reform of the salt industry supervision system shall be prepared by June 30, 2017, and the separation of government and enterprises (enterprises) shall be achieved by the end of 2017.
In response to the salt reform chaos, the Notice also clearly stated that "the implementation of the salt reform cross-regional business policy, and actively release market vitality", and listed the timetable: "provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the Central Government to take into line with the actual situation on the ground, self-examination, rectification norms and summary acceptance of the three stages to carry out the implementation of the salt reform cross-regional business policy special action, and completed by June 30, 2017." In
order to limit administrative disorder, the two departments proposed, "In order to facilitate the relevant departments to fulfill their regulatory responsibilities, salt wholesale enterprises in the cross-regional operation should take the initiative to inform the provincial salt industry authorities of the place of sale." The provincial salt industry authority shall, within 3 working days from the date of receipt of the information, publish eight items of information about the enterprise on the institutional portal, and shall not refuse to publish it for any reason. The competent departments of the salt industry at or below the provincial level shall not inform the trans-regional operation of salt as an administrative examination and approval matter, shall not add new notification matters, shall not expand the scope of notification, and shall not increase the frequency of notification. "The Notice used four "nos" in one breath for the salt industry management, apparently to remove obstacles to the implementation of cross-regional operations.
reform has always been difficult, difficult in the adjustment of interests, salt reform is no exception, after more than 10 years of salt reform program failed to land, it is precisely because of the interests of the cheese. Experts believe that although the salt industry franchise system has a long history, but in the overall situation of building a socialist market economy, its existing reasons have basically collapsed, the salt industry system towards market-oriented reform is the general trend, the "franchise" system is also the general trend. The salt reform plan issued by the State Council has a clear reform timetable, all places should be implemented in accordance with the reform plan, no one has any reason to hold their own one acre of three-point land vested interests, holding the old local regulations pretend to be confused. National reform of a game of chess, salt reform can not be "delayed" because of any excuse.
