she revealed: "the labels and packing boxes of these imported fruits, such as American Red snakes, are very easy to buy. As long as it is possible to buy fruit with similar appearance in the country and put on the purchased foreign label and put into the same packing box, it is difficult for consumers to recognize."

The most reliable way for the industry and commerce law enforcement officials is to see whether the entry - Exit Inspection and quarantine certificate issued by the entry - Exit Inspection and quarantine agency or whether the import fruit commodity is confirmed by the entry and exit inspection and quarantine agency.
when the reporter visited the fruit market of dike road and several supermarkets, the reporter asked the market merchant and supermarket salesman to show the inspection and quarantine certificate of imported foreign fruit or the confirmation of the import of fruit goods.

he said that many of the imported fruits that are now sold on the domestic market are not actually shipped from abroad, because the cost of imported fruits is higher because of freight and tariffs. Many fruit growers have imported fruit seeds from abroad. After these fruits are grown, they have little difference in appearance and real import of fruit. After carefully selected and processed, they are attached to foreign trademarks. Few people can distinguish them. However, due to soil, climate and other factors, the taste will be quite different.
Mr. Zhang said that the fruit picking abroad will be put into the cold storage immediately after the fruit picking. It will pass through a set of pipeline reprocessing, such as grading, cleaning, wax and so on, so the imported fruit looks almost the same size, and the color and lustre are brighter. At present, there are also a lot of such equipment in China. After processing the "two generation of ocean" fruit, it can be completely true, and the cost is much lower than that of the imported fruit.
in the fruit market of dike road, more than a year of fruit business practitioners also disclosed that many of the foreign fruits sold in the market are not imported from abroad, and most of the American Red Snake fruits, such as the most sold in the market, are shipped from Gansu and other places.
