The city’s PPI in February dropped by 0.76% over the same period last year, and climbed by 0.43% as against the previous month, according to a survey released on March 12.

"Thanks to China-Peru certificates of origin, we enjoyed a tariff preference of 11% this year when we export carpets to Peru. We feel much less burdened ", said an executive with a knitwear company after he got the certificate of origin from Ningbo Inspection and Quarantine Bureau.
As the first packet of free trade agreement between China and Latin American countries, China-Peru Free Trade Agreement was signed on April 28th, 2009 and took effect on March 1st, 2010. According to the agreement, the tariff of over 90% of the products will be reduced to zero during several phases between the two countries. Products that were not taxed in 2010 accounted for 61.19% and 62.71% on Chinese and Peruvian sides respectively.
So far, Ningbo Inspection and Quarantine Bureau has issued 3001 China-Peru free trade preferential certificates of origin, involving a total volume of 93.1 million USD, which help reduce the tariff for Ningbo companies by 18 million yuan.
"We hope to share Ningbo's experience in developing micro, small and medium-sized enterprises and social integrated management with the whole world, and let the world know Ningbo." Ms. Renata Dessallien, deputy from United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), told a reporter from Ningbo Evening News on the afternoon of March 6.
Ms. Renata Dessallien, UNDP Resident Representative for China, is in charge of coordinating more than 20 UN branches in China. She said, "The manufacturing industry in Ningbo is so developed that it goes far beyond my imagination. Encouraged by the policy of opening and innovation, Ningbo has really made remarkable progress in areas like sustainable development, social harmony and public service. "
It is learned that UNDP and Ningbo municipal government has reached an agreement on co-operation projects of the integrated management of medium and small-sized rivers.
"Currently, most of the small and medium-sized rivers suffer from mismanagement, water deterioration and low standard of disaster prevention, thus it is extremely urgent for China to manage and control the small and medium-sized rivers." said Ms. Renata Dessallien. UNDP aims to summarize the experience of domestic and international river management and create a typical small and medium-sized river pilot project for showcasing. They also are committed to set a standard for the management of small and medium-sized rivers in China under the impact of global climate change. Meanwhile, they plan to carry out personnel training program on international cooperation in an effort to improve the technical level and management capabilities in Ningbo and other areas in China. In addition, Ningbo is located in southeast coast in China, showing there is much room for cooperation between Ningbo and UNDP in the field of marine development and environmental governance.
Ms. Renata Dessallien also shows great interest in Ningbo's experience in the development of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises. She expressed her wish to bring Ningbo’s experience to the world while introducing international advanced technology and experience to Ningbo

Fu Qiping, representative of National People's Congress and the Party Secretary of the Tengtou Village in Fenghua, has submitted a proposal to the Fifth Session of the 11th National People's Congress, calling for legislation against rural land pollution control.
Statistics show 1300 square kilometers of rural land in China are either occupied or destroyed by solid waste. The wastewater irrigated area reaches approximately 50,000 square kilometers, and is still expanding.
Fu attributes the current situation to several reasons. Firstly, industrial wastewater, solid waste and acid rain are major pollution sources to rural land. Secondly, certain chemical fertilizer and pesticide result in land pollution. Every year, China consumes 4124 tons of chemical fertilizer as well as 30 million tons of pesticide. Most of the chemicals accumulate in the soil with only 30% being absorbed by crops, leading to the contamination of rural land. Thirdly, livestock and poultry industry cause pollution. Without proper sewage treatment, manure and sewage are directly discharged, resulting in air and land pollution. Fourthly, the wide use of plastic mulch and other residues of agricultural production also cause land contamination.
"We already have certain regulations on the prevention of rural land pollution in the Criminal Law, Land Administration Law, Water Pollution Control Act, and Air Pollution Prevention Act, but most are fragmented and lack of clear regulations for some specific pollution problems.” said Fu Qiping. "To prevent rural land pollution, we need to take factors such as air, water, food, human behavior into consideration, and we need to establish an overall legislative system on rural land pollution control laws and regulations."
He added, "we should establish a series of standards on rural land resource, rural soil quality, environmental impact assessment, clean agricultural production, soil remedy, and soil protection. We also call for public participation to battle rural soil pollution."
