Since May this year, I have been able to see real-time updates on pesticide residue testing and other dynamic data displayed on the prominent display screen at the entrance, which has given me more peace of mind about the dishes I purchase. Yesterday morning, Zhang Pingying, who lives in Lanshu Apartment, praised the changes brought about by the intelligent transformation of Jinfeng Vegetable Market.
The renovation of Jinfeng Vegetable Market is a microcosm of the upgrading and transformation action of our city's agricultural market. Since the municipal government issued the "Implementation Plan for the Three Year Campaign to Upgrade Agricultural Trade Markets (2023-2025)" in 2023, an annual guarantee fund of 8 million yuan has been implemented, and the work of upgrading agricultural trade markets has been orderly promoted. In 2023, our city will complete the task of creating 15 trustworthy markets, including 5 new startups and 10 continued startups.
Since the beginning of this year, in the process of promoting the upgrading of agricultural markets, the Municipal Market Supervision Bureau has closely focused on the goal of "specialization, uniqueness, and novelty" in the upgrading of agricultural markets. Through deepening modern governance mechanisms and digital governance scenarios, it has created a number of iconic agricultural markets with regional characteristics in Yuyao. Taking Baishantou Vegetable Farm as an example, under the guidance and support of the Municipal Market Supervision Bureau, the market has registered the trademark "Baishantou Vegetable Farm" and gradually achieved brand operation. The introduction of distinctive brands and large-scale operators in the market not only adds new vitality, but also optimizes the supply structure of goods, meeting the diverse purchasing needs of citizens.
In addition to brand operation, the Municipal Market Supervision Bureau also fully respects the actual situation and differentiated development needs of each market, adopts flexible policies of "one place, one policy" and "one site, one policy", and formulates targeted improvement plans. The Yuxi Vegetable Market located in Zhangting Town is currently undergoing intensive renovation work and is expected to be completed and reopened next month.
In terms of "food safety and protection of the city", the Municipal Market Supervision Bureau actively promotes the micro reform of "vegetable basket safety protection", guiding the establishment of a sound agricultural market food inspection system with clear responsibilities, scientific norms, precision and efficiency, digital empowerment, public awareness, and strong guarantees. At the same time, measures such as adjusting the expansion testing items and implementing rapid testing coverage for key varieties have effectively reduced food safety risks.
It is reported that a total of 13 agricultural markets in the city are undergoing renovation and upgrading work this year. Among them, 12 agricultural markets have newly established or continued to establish star rated (reliable) markets in Zhejiang Province, and Tongjiangqiao Vegetable Market will complete its high star rating creation task by 2025 due to its involvement in cross year renovation projects. At that time, the coverage rate of our city's three-star or above civilized and standardized agricultural markets will reach over 90%, and the coverage rate of the provincial trustworthy agricultural markets will be increased to over 90%.
The small upgrade of the agricultural market has greatly improved the happiness of citizens. Next, the Municipal Market Supervision Bureau will continue to promote the branding improvement of agricultural markets, promote the high-quality development of urban and rural agricultural markets in the city, and strive to provide the public with more sense of gain, happiness, and security.
