Where to buy online Organic food in China ?

Where to buy online Organic food in China ?


What is the availability of organic food in China?
The answer is complicated and it all boils down to what the ultimate philosophy of the visitor is on the food "organic" and their confidence level. New food scandals seem to be a weekly event - the most famous of them was contaminated with melamine and infant formula milk. But recently, Wal-Mart stores in Chongqing have been temporarily closed for the sale of meat ordinary pork as organic. The bottom line is, you can find plenty of food in China, which claims to be organic, but it can not ultimately be what you (or someone) would consider organic.

How do you say Organic?


The word organic in Mandarin Chinese is youji, pronounced gee Yoh. The characters are 有机. If you want to ask if something is organic, you can say "Zhe ge shi youji my? This phrase is pronounced "juh geh sheh Yoh my gee?"

 Growing organic food in China While China has been on the rise as one of the largest producers of organic vegetables for export, "organic" food that is for sale locally is suspect. organic quality export go through rigorous testing and inspection before being sent overseas because they fall under the control of the importing country (Canada often and the United States) where criteria are rigid. However, the food for the domestic market does not undergo such a review. While the controls can theoretically be implemented, corruption abounds. Organic labels can be easily manufactured.

The organic farming movement arose in the 1940s in response to the industrialization of agriculture known as the Green Revolution.
 Organic food production is a heavily regulated industry, distinct from private gardening. Currently, the European Union, the United States, Canada, Japan and many other countries require producers to obtain special certification in order to market food as organic within their borders. In the context of these regulations, organic food is food produced in a way that complies with organic standards set by national governments and international organizations.


Buy organic foods in supermarkets:


 In large cities, there are supermarkets that carry the organic brands of imported dry goods, such as raisins, flour, biscuits, etc. There is a limited amount of organic dry goods from China. If you are not vegetarian, your life can be difficult. I rarely saw meat "organic" or fish, although recently I saw pork labeled "eco-pig" of China.

In Shanghai you can buy in Epermarket , a famous online supermarket for expat.

There is no way of knowing what this label. Locally grown vegetables "organic" are available in high-end supermarkets, while fruit are harder to find. These vegetables, while claiming to be organic, are often grown in soils that do not meet international standards for organic products. So while they may not really have pesticides or herbicides used during growth, they are likely grown in soil that is not very clean and be sprinkled with water that is heavily polluted.

best Buys Organic


 Here is a good list of things you should buy organic if you can Best Buys organic. Order organic food home delivery: In large cities there is a home delivery service and the increased availability of online ordering organic foods. One such provider is a company called Shanghai Fields. While all the products they sell are organic, these companies tend to try to source the highest quality possible. specialized companies also work in the home delivery of organic milk and yogurt. If you are in China for a long stay, you can look in home delivery to most of your organic needs.

Restaurant Dining: Eating is difficult. They can advertise food as organic, but who knows. You may ask: "Is it organic" and the answer is an enthusiastic "yes" Then you can say to another server "is not organic, is it" and they will respond with as much??

Organic foods are foods that are produced using methods of organic farming – that do not involve modern synthetic inputs such as synthetic pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Organic foods are also not processed using irradiation, industrial solvents, or chemical food additives.


 organic food in China is rising


Although interest and availability of organic food in China is rising, it is not near the standards of Europe / Australia / North America. So if you are serious about continuing your organic life in China, then I suggest you to think like a squirrel and pack enough food whole nuts, seeds and dried fruit to get through the winter. Bottom Line: I lived in Shanghai for many years and my two children were born here. Food scandals really scare me - as they are all local and expatriate community.

We do the best we can with what we can. If I can buy organic and I trust them
 If I'm in a questionable shop and they tell me that it's organic, I'm skeptical. The internal market and national interests in organic food increases as disposable income is internal, which makes buying organic food more expensive as possible
