Study Of Pork Quality And Safety Management System

Nowadays, there is a trend to consumers home and abroad demanding high-quality and safe agri-food. However, the food safety problems related to the pork have always broken out. The issue of the pork quality and safety poses threat either to the consumers' health or to the pork competitiveness in international trade;it also directly affects the development of our live pig industry and the growth of farmers' income. As the production and the consumption of pork in china have been on the top of the world so far, the issue of the pork quality and safety becomes especially important and urgent. Therefore, the research on the pork quality and safety management system does not only have its theoretical significance, but also provides some practical advices on the quality and safety management of pork and agri-food in China.Domestic and international scholars have studied food safety issue a lot and made a lot of achievements. However, there isn't any further and systematic theory analysis and demonstration research on the pork quality and safety management system. It is studied in the paper, basing on the consumer behavior theory, the producer behavior theory, regulation economics, contract economics and game theory, and the existent research achievements. The discussion on the pork quality and safety management system must be based on the analysis of behavior of the micro-economy main bodies—consumers, producers and slaughtering companies. Therefore, in the paper, the consumers' demand behavior is first analyzed, and then is the supply of safe pork, in the end, the construction of pork quality and safety management system in China is discussed, based on the theoretical analysis of the pork quality and safety market and the experiences of foreign government regulation pork quality and safety. Sichuan is one of the most important provinces of pork production, consumption and exportation in China, so it is typical that the consumers and the pig farmers in Sichuan are taken as an example in the paper, when demonstration study is made on the consumer's demand behavior and the farmers' quality and safety control behavior.There are five sections that consist of eleven chapters in the paper, of which, the 3rd, the 4th and the 5th section is the core of this paper.Section 1 is introduction and literatures. It contains chapter 1 and 2. Chapter 1 is introduction. Including the background and importance of studying on the pork quality and safety management system, the definition of concept, the object to research and the basic thoughts of the whole paper. Chapter 2 is literatures. It mainly reviews and commends on the development of the researches in China and foreign about the food safety, pork market, theory of game and its implication.Section 2, theoretical analysis and practice reference. It contains chapter 3,4, and 5. Chapter 3, economics analysis of the pork quality and safety market andgovernment regulation, is the theoretical basis of the whole research. Chapter 4, introduction of typical country's pork quality guarantees system and the veterinarian management system. Chapter 5 is analysis on characteristic of pork and the influencing factors of pork quality and safety, which are put forward according to Food Science.Section 3 is demonstration on the consumer's demand behavior. Namely chapter 6, the consumer's demand on the pork quality and safety and the related information were analyzed. The behavior of the city consumers' in Sichuan province is analyzed empirically. There is the pork's quantity demand in China, the consumer's recognition about the pork quality and safety, consumption of safe pork, the Willingness To Pay (WTP) and the influencing factors to safe pork, and the econometrical analysis on the consumer's demand on the information about the pork quality and safety.Section 4 is analysis on safe pork's supply. It contains chapter 7, 8, and 9. Chapter 7, pork supply and the problems existing in the production process have been analyzed from the point of view of the industry chain. Pork's supply in China, and the problems existing in the pig production process—the case of Zizhong County, is discussed. Chapter 8 is the pig farmer's behavior on controlling the pork quality and safety —a case from the pig farmer in Sichuan province. Chapter 9, according to the theory of game, the behavior option and contract option between the slaughtering and processing enterprises and the farmers in the pig industry process have been analyzed.Section 5, including Chapter 10 and 11, is the discussion about the management system of pork quality and safety. Chapter 10 is status quo and the main problems that exists in present the safety management system of pork quality and safety in our country. Chapter 11 is proposes of certain policies in order to strengthen the construction of this system in China. In this part, based on the analysis of behavior of the micro-economy main bodies, according to government regulation, status quo and the main problems which exists in present the management system of pork quality and safety in our country is thoroughly analyzed, certain proposes of policies is put forward in the end.Through the research of this article, some beneficial conclusions have been drawn:?The pork quality and safety is influenced by the environmental pollution, the natural virulent matter contained in the pork and the other pork products, the chemical substance remain, biology pollution and so on.?According to the analysis of Chinese pork ' s demand situation, the author points out that little pork is exported while most is consumed in the domestic area. In order to enlarge exported amount and protect the domestic general consumer's health and life, the author thinks that the government should strengthen to the management of the pork quality safety.?Through logistic regression analysis on demand of 608 consumers in the 19cities of Sichuan, it is concluded that the majority consumers pay more attention to the pork quality and safety, and that they have cognitions to a certain degree to the situation of the pork quality and safety and its influence factor while their cognitions also have a certain difficulties, deviations even errors, and that these cognitions about the pork of pollution-free, the green pork and the organic pork are influenced by many factors, and that some consumers will pay more to the safe pork, and that the consumers pay more attention to the information of the pork quality and safety and believe this information issued by the authority government and specialized organizations. Through logistic regression analysis on demand of the information of the pork quality and safety, it is found that only three variables, the consumers' age, marriage and the cognition of these information are remarkable while other variables aren't very obvious, such as education level, average month income of per person, cognitions of food safety laws and regulations, attention to the health information and so on.?The problems in the pork production process and have been analyzed according to the industrial chain analysis frame, and Zizhong County is taken for example which is the one of the biggest pig producing county, The result of analysis indicated that there are some problems on the system of the boar and its breeding, the feed, the raising scale and the organization degree, the epidemic disease, slaughters and the machining etc, which have affected the pork quality and safety seriously.?The logistic regression analysis is made on whether the 316 pig farmer in Sichuan who want to buy the safety veterinary medicine or not and the factors which influence their demands. It indicates that the demand desires on the safety veterinary medicine are influenced by many factors mostly, the people's sex, the age, the years that the farmers have raised the pigs for, the cognitions of the harm that the veterinary medicine remains, the cognition of the effect of the safety veterinary medicine, the cognition of the service which is provided by the industrial organization, as well as the supporting of the government etc, each factor has different influence degree and different remarkable nature.?The incomplete contract theory and the Grossman - Hart - Moore mode are applied to research and discuss the choice of the contract between the machining enterprises and the pig farmers in the process of the safety pork industrial production. It indicates that we could not generally speak that the benefit joint way must be the elements of the contract or the commodity contract, and the choice of which should depends on the concrete circumstance.In the end, some policy measures are recommended that our government should strengthen the construction of the management system of pork quality and safety. For instance, construction of the management system of pork quality and safety must base on the construction of the entire food safety management system;it will be 10 years to form gradually the management system of pork quality and safety that SFDA isresponsible overall and the Ministry of Agriculture and the other bureaus coordinate;the new veterinarian management system unified by the official veterinarian and the practicing veterinarian should be established gradually in our country;the construction on the pork safety laws and regulations system, the standard system, the examination and measure system, quality authentication system, the information system and the technical supporting system should be strengthened;and the pigs slaughtered system, the market access system, traceability system and animal disease prevention system and so on should be constructed;and the interior quality control in the pork production enterprises should be strengthened, and the way of their business should be changed to enhance the organization degree of the pig production.
