From the perspective of organizational structure, what is the crux of "eight departments can't manage a pig well"

"Some people put Russian potatoes and Chinese potatoes together, and even mice don't eat Chinese potatoes." At the "National High-level Forum on Food Safety and Corporate Responsibility" held on 23rd, Wu, Deputy Secretary General of China Consumers Association, used this joke to describe the abuse of pesticides and fertilizers in domestic agricultural production. Wu revealed that there are hundreds of major food poisoning incidents in China every year, and the death toll exceeds 1 10,000. Moreover, the data of food poisoning currently available is only the tip of the iceberg. According to statistics, in this context, in recent years, China consumers' trust in food safety was once less than 50%. Food safety supervision has attracted more and more attention (China Youth Daily, April 25).

Food safety is related to the interests and health of thousands of families. With the continuous improvement of the socialization of family labor, people have more and more opportunities to eat out, buy food and buy processed food raw materials. This phenomenon is a manifestation of social progress and development. On the one hand, it relieves people's family work pressure and enables many family members to concentrate on their work; On the other hand, it has promoted the refinement of social division of labor, the development of tertiary industry and the improvement of labor employment level. However, the food safety problem is becoming more and more serious. Excessive use of pesticides in vegetables has been out of control, and it often happens that people who forget their roots add harmful additives to food. Food poisoning is constantly appearing, and carcinogenic elements in food are constantly exposed. The situation of big-headed dolls caused by milk powder here is still constantly seen in newspapers, and Sudan red has been raging there.

The reason for these situations is that some manufacturers and distributors forget profits, and in order to reduce costs or increase profits, they do not hesitate to gamble on the health of Chinese people. Furthermore, there are too many loopholes in China's food safety supervision. Wu Jianping, deputy director of the product quality supervision department of AQSIQ, revealed that 64% of domestic food processing enterprises do not have the ability to produce qualified products. According to the law, products are not allowed to leave the factory without inspection, but 82.5% of enterprises do not inspect at all or have no inspection ability. An important reason for the large loopholes in food safety supervision is that the government administrative departments attach great importance to every work, and there is a phenomenon that two or more departments are in charge of it. This leads to "better management, or some benefits, some power, and everyone is vying for management." Those who have great responsibilities, many problems and difficult management shirk their responsibilities, and there is no big department to manage them. Another situation is that a problem has arisen and they are scrambling to solve it. They are afraid of being criticized as administrative inaction. And this kind of supervision mode of "you also check, I also check" has caused enterprises to be overwhelmed. Wiki, director of the safety supervision department of Beijing Food Safety Coordination Office, said that "eight departments can't manage a pig well" is an image description of meat production problems. Meat production and veterinary drug production enterprises are under the responsibility of the Drug Administration and the Industrial and Commercial Bureau; The aquaculture industry using pesticides is responsible by the Ministry of Agriculture; The third and fourth links, namely, the feed production enterprises and feed additives of veterinary drug carriers, are under the responsibility of the Ministry of Agriculture; The fifth and sixth links of meat and livestock purchasing and slaughtering enterprises are all in the charge of the commercial department except individual and private operators; The seventh and eighth steps of sales and health supervision are jointly undertaken by the commercial department, the quality inspection department and the health department. Surprisingly, there are many food safety supervision departments with overlapping functions. This is exactly the same as the debate between the Ministry of Water Resources and the Yellow River Committee on the release of the Huaihe River pollution report reported by the media a few days ago.

Strengthening legislation is the key to ensure food safety. Strengthen the food safety responsibility of enterprises through legislation, and make it clear that enterprises are the first responsible person for food safety; In food safety supervision, it is necessary to overcome the phenomenon that the multi-head policy is not well managed. The main body of supervision, the main responsible department and the responsible person must be clear. Resolutely overcome "all the good things have come, and all the difficult things have been pushed down;" If there is a problem, put it on the other side, blame the other side, sum up your own achievements and make your own achievements. Relevant departments must do a good job in food safety supervision from the perspective of effectively protecting people's physical and mental health and safety. The situation that "eight departments can't manage a pig well" can't happen again.
