Core Viewpoint - The Newhui Chenpi industry, valued at 26.1 billion yuan and recognized as a leading agricultural brand in China, is facing a trust crisis due to significant market irregularities, including counterfeit products and misleading labeling practices [1][6][10]. Group 1: Market Irregularities - A report revealed that 80% of products marketed as Guangdong Newhui Chenpi are actually from Guangxi, with some companies producing "craft skins" that mimic the appearance of aged Chenpi within a month, selling at prices up to 1,000 yuan per pound [3][7]. - The production cost of these "craft skins" is approximately 70 yuan per pound, while the retail price can exceed 1,000 yuan, resulting in profits over ten times the cost [7][8]. - The use of non-standard materials, such as using pomelo peels instead of the required tea branch mandarin peels, further complicates the authenticity of the products [8]. Group 2: Regulatory Response - Local authorities have initiated investigations and enforcement actions against the involved companies, including product seizures and legal proceedings against fraudulent practices [6][10]. - A joint statement from local regulatory bodies and industry associations has led to the cancellation of memberships for implicated companies and the revocation of their geographical indication rights [6][10]. - A digital traceability management system was established in 2022 to enhance oversight of the Newhui Chenpi production and distribution process [10][11]. Group 3: Consumer Awareness and Protection - Consumers are encouraged to verify the authenticity of Newhui Chenpi products by checking packaging and scanning QR codes, although only 35% currently engage in this practice [11]. - Regulatory bodies have conducted extensive inspections and monitoring of production and sales entities, with over 2,233 checks and 72 cases filed from 2024 to February 2025 [11]. - A comprehensive enforcement mechanism will be implemented starting January 1, 2025, targeting unauthorized sales of Newhui Chenpi [11]. Group 4: Industry Challenges and Recommendations - Despite existing regulatory frameworks, challenges remain in the effective implementation of quality control measures, particularly for small-scale producers [12][13]. - Experts suggest establishing a collaborative system involving government oversight, association monitoring, and self-regulation by enterprises to ensure quality throughout the supply chain [13]. - The importance of digital transformation and data utilization in protecting the Newhui Chenpi brand and enhancing supply chain integrity is emphasized [13].
