T/HBCC 002-2019 Fresh Sweet Potato Circulation Standards

Scope

Main technical content: Sweet potatoes are drought-resistant and tolerant of poor soils, which makes them suitable for planting in mountainous areas. They can save water resources, reduce surface soil exposure, reduce the evaporation of surface water, and protect the ecological environment. Sweet potatoes are rich in nutrients and have good nutritional and health benefits in terms of cancer prevention, lowering blood lipids and cholesterol, and preventing aging. With the improvement of living standards and the enhancement of people's awareness of nutrition and health, sweet potatoes have become a healthy food for urban people to adjust their taste and enrich their diet, playing an increasingly important role in the dietary structure. In terms of the circulation and transportation of sweet potatoes, there are major problems such as high losses and unguaranteed product quality. Especially in the procurement, circulation, and sales processes, consumers complain a lot about product quality issues caused by damage and spoilage, which also poses a great food safety risk. Establishing circulation standards for fresh sweet potatoes is of great significance for guiding the development of the fresh sweet potato circulation industry, reducing losses in transportation, improving product quality, ensuring food safety, regulating the circulation market, and meeting consumers' needs.
