| The Secretary for Food and
Health, York Chow, has urged
vegetable wholesalers to show
evidence that people are
smuggling uncertified mainland
vegetables into Hong Kong. The
wholesalers allege that
legitimate farmers are selling
certificates of origins to
other growers who in turn
bring in vegetables of
questionable quality at a
lower price. They're calling
on the government to crack
down on the practice. But Dr
Chow said the government
hadn't noticed any signs of
smuggling taking place. |
