Aug. 7 - Chinese local pricing authorities have been told to crack down on food producers and sellers that attempt to raise food prices to an unreasonable1 level, said sources with the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) on Monday.

 

Describing the nationwide campaign as a major political task, the top economic planning agency urged pricing departments at all levels to work hard to stabilize2 the food market.

 

The move comes in the wake of recent food price hikes that have pushed the consumer price index, the country's inflation rate, above the government's target of 3 percent for four consecutive3 months.

 

The campaign, mainly targeting food manufacturers, wholesale4 and retail5 firms, will overhaul6 the prices for daily foods like grain, cooking oil, meat, poultry7, eggs and milk.

 

NDRC vowed8 to severely9 punish those who jack10 up food prices by revoking11 their business licenses12 and bringing them to justice in collaboration13 with the police and commercial and quality authorities.

 

China's State Administration for Industry and Commerce also said on Monday in an urgent circular that local governments must rid the pork market of sellers that plot price hikes by hoarding14 and fabricating rumors15.

 

The administration will also clamp down on venders of diseased and water-injected meat.
