Packaging must also be "connected"

Not long ago, at the Hong Kong Food Fair, food from some provinces in the Mainland was organised in Hong Kong for the first time in an international market. Many of our foods have shown their own advantages in the competition, but also found a biggest problem - packaging.

Our packaging of agricultural and sideline products basically stays at a low level of practicality. It is only for good use, good fit, good luck, and low cost. At home, we can adapt to a part of the needs of low consumption levels. But at the international level, Far behind others, often because of the backward packaging to reduce the grade of the product, the so-called: "first-class raw materials, second-rate products, third-rate packaging, four-stream price." The Hong Kong Expo has aroused our attention to packaging.

The gap in the packaging of agricultural and sideline products has been affected by the planned economy of the year. Production and sales have been disconnected. Products have been allocated by way of distribution. We do not pay attention to packaging or even packaging. Second, operators generally lack funds and are unable to improve packaging technology and equipment. Some high-level packaging design and printing businesses have to be sent to Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong. The money will make people earn, and the cost will increase accordingly. Third, some factories have paid attention to all aspects of the production process and neglect the packaging, storage and transportation. International "branding" competition. In the international market, packaging is one of the important means to improve product competitiveness and establish a brand. Through packaging, the United States 10 yuan agricultural and sideline products can increase the value of 3.7 yuan, Japan can increase the value of 2.3 yuan, while China can only add value 0.48 yuan.

Today's packaging is not just a small workshop-style box, a bag, but also includes hygiene, preservation, storage and transportation, beautiful, light and conducive to regeneration and environmental protection. At the Hong Kong Food Expo, some of our products have failed to attract our great attention because of poor packaging and backward competition. If you do not change the backward packaging situation as soon as possible, you will face greater impact after joining the WTO. Packaging, as soon as possible with international standards.
