Impact of China's tea exports of rare earth content exceeded

Because excessive rare earth content of tea, but no such standards abroad to purchase foreign investment in China has brought doubts.

Associated British Foods Group Greater China general manager Su Zhijie recently in an interview with reporters said that due to excessive pesticide residues, lack of traceability system and other issues, the company last year, the world's largest tea-producing countries - China's purchasing volume is less than the amount of its global sourcing 20%, the high cost of procurement lead in China in its 300 years of history, which owns Twinings tea companies profit contribution rate is still less than 1%. In addition, rare limited edition is the standard set by China, China's tea enterprises can not.

Pesticide testing standards with international standards not only hinder multinational companies in China to carry out large-scale procurement, and also restricting the bulk of China's exports of tea from low-end to high-end raw tea transformation. This is also the last year, China's tea exports minus 2.82 percent of the important reasons.

Only China has a rare earth limits

By the end of July, Jiangsu Province Quality Supervision Bureau informed the second quarter of this year, the provincial quality supervision and inspection results, seven high tea brand tea Rare Limited (the total amount of rare earth oxides) project failed. October 2005, our country abolished GB9676 "tea health standards," tea health standards into GB2762-2005 "of contaminants in foods," management areas. According to GB2762-2005 "of contaminants in foods" provides a rare earth content is 2mg/kg, rare earth content in tea that is not more than two millionths.

The standard limit on earth, so that foreign investors who feel a bit strange, because this standard only in China, the EU, Japan and the United States and other major powers had no tea this standard. But they are on this issue very seriously.

"Chinese standards set by their own tea enterprises can not do." Su Zhijie said he first heard about the tea contains rare earth, do not understand how it is, then I find that it is the process of tea cultivation in China naturally occurring The.

Standard problems, but also become a Chinese tea enterprises export bottlenecks.

About Rare limited problems, more than one person in charge of tea enterprises, told reporters that not eating tea and tea leaves, tea is the content of rare earth rare earth containing tea leaves, not a tea containing rare earths.

Previously, according to the China Federation of Supply and Marketing Cooperatives, Hangzhou Tea Research Institute, National Tea Quality Supervision and Inspection Center jointly launched the process of brewing tea REE leaching studies show that through brewing, tea rare earth elements (the total amount of the oxide ) The total leaching rate of less than 20%, according to the Alzheimer's Association International (ADI) reference value, the current level of rare earth content of tea samples in the brewing process, are not enough to cause food security issues.

Currently, the limits are still rare tea controversy. And because no relevant foreign standards, making the bulk purchase of Chinese multinationals can not rush tea.
