This week, the supply of living materials in Jilin, Shanghai and other epidemic areas has attracted attention. In Shanghai, Jiangqiao Wholesale Market and Shanghai Agricultural Products Wholesale Market have adjusted their business scope and trading hours due to epidemic prevention requirements. In Changchun, Jilin Province, a week ago, the two largest wholesale markets in Northeast Asia and Haijixing were shut down after multiple cases were detected.
A large wholesale market in a city, equivalent to the city's large vegetable baskets, once affected by the epidemic, will inevitably lead to downstream supermarkets and people's small vegetable baskets out of supply. Therefore, the stable operation of the supply side is also the expectation of the residents of the sealing area. On Monday, the new crown positive infected people appeared in Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province, the trajectory of activities involved the only large-scale local vegetable wholesale market, the market was forced to shut down at the same time, the local also built two temporary trading markets to ensure the next day's vegetable supply, the new and old transfer, Jiaxing took eight hours.
To build and operate a temporary market, in addition to establishing a place that can meet the transactions, it also requires the continuous smooth entry of transport drivers with a full supply of goods, which is the key to making the temporary market really operational. In this regard, the local government has given certain convenience to the supply vehicles.
Liu Wuhong, chief economist of Jiaxing Municipal Bureau of Commerce: After we have a source of goods, we must also ensure that these goods can be smoothly transported to Jiaxing. Therefore, in this regard, we have joined hands with market supervision, traffic police and other departments to ensure that our cargo and vegetable trucks can arrive smoothly. Especially at the bayonet and high-speed port, under the premise of ensuring that they do a good job in epidemic prevention and control safety measures, they can quickly check and release, and after arriving at the market, they can quickly unload and leave quickly.
At present, according to the local epidemic prevention requirements for trucks in the temporary market in Jiaxing, trucks need to put a seal on the door before entering and kill them. During unloading, truck drivers will not be able to get out of the car and not open windows to reduce the contact between foreign transport personnel and temporary markets.
On Wednesday night, as trucks drove into the Changchun Haijixing Agricultural Products Market, the wholesale market, which had been closed for three days, finally opened after implementing the epidemic prevention requirements. After visiting the market, the reporter found that the price of vegetables at the wholesale end was basically the same as before.
At the same time, during the batch control period of Pudong and Puxi sub-districts in Shanghai, some of the vegetable bags delivered to the door came from the emergency supply warehouse. In this supply warehouse in Pudong, the staff sorts and packs the vegetables shipped from all over the world, and then uses the method of "collection and distribution" to transport the vegetable packages to the community.
Tian Yao, head of Shanghai Pudong Bao supply warehouse: The overall area of this warehouse is more than 12,000 square meters, and the overall storage capacity can reach about 1,500 tons. In this warehouse, we mainly ensure that Pudong (sealing) can meet the basic needs of the people's daily agricultural products during this period. The entire storage of more than 400 tons of cargo, the large 20 tons to 30 tons of trucks flow endlessly.
New temporary markets, shutting down and reopening after killing, and opening up diversified ways to ensure supply, the new crown virus has affected the city's vegetable basket, and the importance of ensuring supply has been shown behind the different responses in various places. Not long ago, in response to the current situation of frequent outbreaks of domestic epidemics, resulting in tight supply of food and other materials, the Ministry of Commerce also stated that it will guide commercial and trade circulation enterprises to increase the organization of supply sources, dock with large vegetable production provinces and export provinces, and ensure that the total supply is sufficient. Cities fighting the epidemic have pressed the pause button, but the security of materials and supply chains cannot be suspended.
