广西应对“早期收获计划”

Guangxi to Counter“Early Harvest Program”

中国-东盟博览会在南宁的举办，对广西的各个产业的发展都带来了机遇和挑战。中国-东盟自由贸易区的启动，对广西的农业也产生深远影响。“早期收获计划”是在中国-东盟自贸区框架下最先实施的降税计划，启动时间为2004年1月1日，蔬菜、水果属该计划涵盖的产品范围。“早期收获计划”的实施给广西和东盟国家的果蔬产业带来的既是机遇，又是挑战。积极抓住机遇，沉着应对挑战，是促进自贸区建设，加强与东盟国家的区域合作，必须着力解决好的重要问题。

The ＂Early Harvest Program＂ remains the first and earliest tariff- reducing plan under the framework of Sino-ASEAN free trade zone, starting from 1 Jan 2004. The vegetables and fruits were covered in the plan. The implementation of ＂Early Harvest Program＂ has presented both opportunities and challenges to the fruit and vegetable industry in Guangxi and ASEAN countries. It becomes a major issue to be tackled to clinch opportunities and cope with challenges, in a bid to promote the development of free trade zone and strengthen the regional cooperation with ASEAN countries.
