Vegetable Basket ProjectIn order to alleviate the contradiction of the tight supply of foodstuffs in China, the Ministry of Agriculture put forward the construction of the "Vegetable Basket Project" in 1988.

The first phase of the project established central and local production bases for meat, eggs, milk, aquatic products and vegetables, as well as a system of services such as seed breeding and feed processing, to ensure that residents had fresh vegetables to eat throughout the year. By the mid-1990s, the "vegetable basket project" focused on solving the problem of market supply shortages.

The sustained and rapid growth of the "food basket" products has fundamentally reversed China's chronic shortage of non-staple food supply. With the exception of milk and fruit, the per capita consumption of the rest of the "food basket" products has reached or exceeded the world's per capita level.

Overall Idea:

In-depth implementation of the scientific concept of development, to promote a new round of "food basket" project construction, through strengthening production capacity, improve market circulation facilities, accelerate the transformation of development mode, innovation and control guarantee mechanism, to promote the "food basket". The "food basket" project construction into production and stable development.

Smooth production and marketing, quality, safety and reliability, market fluctuations can be controlled, farmers stable income, the public get the benefits of sustainable development track, to better meet the growing needs of people's lives.

Main goal:

Focus on meat, eggs, milk, fish, vegetables, fruit and other products. Through about five years of efforts to achieve a reasonable production layout, the total amount to meet the demand, more varieties, seasonal supply and balanced; municipalities, provincial capitals, planned cities and other large cities, "food basket" product self-sufficiency level to maintain a stable and gradually improve.

The construction of "vegetable basket" production bases in agricultural areas has been strengthened, and the circulation conditions have been further improved; the interest linkage mechanism between production and marketing areas has been basically established, and the modern circulation system has basically taken shape; "vegetable basket" products have basically realized traceability, and the quality and safety level has been significantly improved; the mayor's responsibility system has been further improved. The level of quality and safety has been significantly improved; the mayor is responsible for the further implementation of the system, the supply guarantee, emergency control, quality supervision and control capacity has been significantly enhanced.
