1. Lack of public cognition and test credit system.
Organic agriculture is still a new thing in China. Most ordinary consumers lack understanding of organic products. In order to make consumers widely aware of and accept organic products, a lot of publicity and popularization of organic agricultural knowledge is needed. It is difficult to distinguish between organic products and conventional products in judgment, which will inevitably lead to doubts from consumers. In addition, there are actual hidden quality problems, which makes organic agriculture face the challenge of credibility.
Very few certification bodies are only interested in immediate interests and only value growth in volume, making consumers doubt the validity of organic product certification. If the organic product certification agency does not carry out inspection and certification activities in strict accordance with the standards, it will lead to unqualified organic products entering the market, affecting the interests of consumers, and causing consumers to lose confidence in organic products. Therefore, the establishment of the industry self-discipline and integrity system of employees is the cornerstone of China's organic agriculture and the foundation of market development.
2. Some organic agricultural enterprises pay more attention to certification, but less attention to standard implementation and consultation.
Some organic enterprises only pay attention to the results of organic certification, but do not pay enough attention to the implementation of organic agricultural production standards. As a result, one set is written and another set may be done, resulting in a low level of real organic production technology. Driven by market interests, a very small number of enterprises are eager to achieve success but do not implement standards seriously, do not actively improve product quality and management level, try to take shortcuts, and even try to directly spend money on certification.
3. The research on organic agricultural production technology is lagging behind, and the service system is not perfect.
Organic agricultural production requires a set of different production technologies as a guarantee. Organic agricultural production faces many problems such as pest control, soil fertilization, variety selection, product quality and production efficiency. In addition, my country lacks projects and funds for organic agricultural production research and scientific research and development, and there are few domestic institutions specializing in organic agricultural research and teaching, especially lack of research, development and consultation on organic agricultural production technology and production materials. Influence the sustainable development and improvement of organic agriculture.
4. The production scale of organic agriculture is small, the cost is high, and the production and market demand are out of touch.
The scale of organic agricultural production in China is generally small, resulting in high unit production costs. In addition, the market development is not perfect, the service system is not perfect, and the sales cost is higher, resulting in high prices of organic agricultural products in the domestic market, affecting the popularization and market capacity of organic agricultural products. expansion. At present, organic agriculture in my country mainly focuses on planting products, with many primary products and lack of organic processed products.
Organic agricultural production can only realize its value through the market and meet the needs of consumers. Without the market, organic agriculture has no basis for development. Therefore, organic agricultural production must adapt to market needs and act according to market rules to achieve healthy and sustainable development.
5. The market is not regulated enough, and counterfeit organic products seriously damage the interests of consumers.
The domestic organic food market is still in the initial stage of development, the means of market supervision are not perfect and the strength is not strong enough, and a standardized and orderly market system has not been formed. Since it is difficult to intuitively judge the authenticity of organic agricultural products, it is difficult for consumers to feel the difference between them and conventional agricultural products after consumption, which provides an opportunity for unscrupulous businessmen.
Market issues are one of the most critical issues for the development of the organic business. Only when organic products reflect their true value in the market can they fundamentally mobilize the enthusiasm of the producers, processors and traders who are engaged in the organic business. Only by regulating the market of organic products can we prevent the emergence and proliferation of counterfeit and shoddy products, and can make consumers trust organic products, which cannot be separated from organic products. If organic products cannot reflect their true value for a long time, and if the market for organic products cannot be trusted by consumers, the organic business will not only not develop, but will gradually shrink until it disappears.
6. Government support is not enough.
Governments at all levels still lack clear policy and financial support for the development of organic agriculture. The environmental and social benefits of organic agriculture should be given due recognition and attention. In order to encourage organic agriculture, most developed countries formulate subsidy policies for organic agriculture in their own countries, provide subsidies to certified production and processing enterprises, and provide a considerable amount of financial support to scientific research and consulting institutions of organic agriculture every year. The development of organic agriculture is beneficial to the ecological environment.
