Special inspection of summer grain purchasing organized by the National Food Administration

The 2015 summer grain purchasing work has already been fully launched. In order to ensure the smooth progress of summer grain purchasing, the National Food Administration recently organized and carried out special supervision and inspection work on summer grain purchasing.

The reporter learned from the National Food Administration on the 29th that this special inspection focuses on five aspects: first, the situation of policy publicity. Inspect whether grain purchasing and storage enterprises have put prices on display, standards on the wall, and samples on the counter at purchasing sites, and whether they purchase immediately upon arrival, so that farmers can deliver “clear grain” and “worry-free grain”. Second, the situation of quality inspection and weighing. Inspect whether the quality inspection and weighing procedures of grain purchasing and storage enterprises are standardized, open, and transparent, whether the filling out of purchasing vouchers and purchasing invoices is standardized and uniform, whether the items are complete, and whether signatures at each stage on the vouchers are missing, and resolutely crack down on various forms of illegal and non-compliant behavior such as false purchasing, substituting old grain for new, and purchasing first and transferring later. Third, the situation of payment for grain funds. Inspect whether grain purchasing and storage enterprises make farmers aware of the settlement method and promptly settle grain payments to farmers selling grain on site, so that the grain in farmers' hands can be sold and the grain payments can be obtained. Fourth, the situation of purchasing progress. Inspect whether entrusted purchasing and storage enterprises and leased warehouse sites have circumstances where the grain warehousing progress does not match the enterprise's actual warehouse capacity. Fifth, the situation of case acceptance and handling. Provincial-level grain administrative departments inspect the supervision and inspection work carried out by cities and counties for summer grain purchasing, as well as the acceptance and handling of reported grain-related issues, and whether reported cases are registered, handled, have results, and receive feedback.
