In august, the main area of pepper production entered the harvest period, with a busy landscape in the field. However, the image of harvests in the ground did not provide a reciprocal benefit to the pepper farmers. In some areas, the price of pepper has declined by about 10-15 per cent over the same period, and parts of the business chain face a decline in profits。
From rushing up to overcapacity, to oversupply, the hot industry is always unable to bypass the cycle and the pepper industry is no exception. From local cultivation to radiation-driven areas of primary production, the area under national pepper cultivation has been expanding, with production saturated and the supply and demand routes approaching. How can the pepper industry at the tipping point break down and achieve quality health development
Optimization of supply and efficiency gains
Precipice, which is the country's key culinary economic tree species, plays an important role in maintaining the balance of ecosystems, developing rural niche industries, consolidating gains from poverty eradication and enriching the public's diet. Our country, which has grown 23 million acres of pepper, is the world's largest producer of pepper, with 16 production areas awarded the title “the country of chinese pepper”。
Over the years, there has been a sustained rise in the heat of pepper cultivation and a significant increase in production, and the pepper industry has shifted from the seller to the buyer market. Journalists learned from the china economics and forestry association's precipice branch that the national production of pepper increased from 289,000 tons to 574,000 tons in 2014-2022, while the domestic market currently consumes about 420,000 tons annually。

The solution to market weakness lies in supply-side efficiency gains, the reduction of low levels of excess due to poor product quality and inability to meet market demand, and the completion of short sheets such as precipitous forest management to increase industrial efficiency。
How can efficiency gains be enhanced to achieve high-quality industrial development? The answer is in “three transformations, one standard”。
Quantitative scale to qualitative benefits. Professor at the north-west university of agroforestry and director of the national alliance for innovation in the pepper industry, zhang wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei wei we at present, 47 species of peppers have been validated throughout the country, of which 30 are peppers and 17 are peppers. He recommended that the red peppers be made of lion heads, yellow caps, early red peppers, and the south peppers of fengchou no. 1, hangen peppers, vietsai gong peppers, zingnam-free plum peppers, and the green peppers of gold, green peppers, vine peppers, nine leaves, green peppers in the brooks。
Labour intensity has shifted towards light simplicity. Precipitals are mainly extracted by hand, they are stingy, difficult to harvest and costly to harvest. At present, the cost of artificial pick-up has risen to $7-8 per kilogram of fresh pepper, which is even more difficult to harvest when it comes to high levels of work during the pick-up season and labour shortages. Wei an zhi said that “the promotion of seed-free and light-simplified cultivation management techniques can reduce costs by addressing the problems of outdated, complex and time-consuming technologies”
Traditional cultivation has shifted to green health cultivation. By the end of 2023, the market size of our organic food sector will have exceeded $100 billion. Liu yonghong, a researcher at the north-west university of agroforestry and technology, believes that the development of green organic peppers can drive structural reforms on the supply side of our pepper industry and bring about industrial transformation。
How do you measure the merits of “mass”? “standards are the basis for quality, and quality is the result of standards.” the secretary-general of the national technical committee for the standardization of symptoms, zhang saberun, said。
Zhang spylon told journalists that the pepper industry in my country is in a state of high-quality development, and that a reasonable assessment of quality indicators using standards is most critical. The industry needs to establish a system of industry-wide standards of technology for the upgrading of the industry's efficiency in response to the large variety of peppers and the wide variation in the quality of the various production sites。
All over the country, groups such as the china economics and forestry association's technical guidelines for organic production of red flower peppers and the chongqing technical guidelines for production of green peppers have emerged. The application of standards reduces production management costs, increases product competitiveness and reflects the formation of a core awareness of industry standards。
The docking needs
When it comes to peppers, people usually think of peppers, pepper powder, pepper oil... In fact, peppers as raw materials have gone into various fields such as solar products and biomedicine。
As consumption escalates and health needs grow, consumption patterns and habits are changing. A new pattern of development can only be opened up by matching market demand and making good products in the pepper industry。
While peppers are important spices and are woody oil crops and have a high application value in medicine, the country's pepper industry has been dominated by the sale of raw materials and has been lagging behind in their processing. Wang wenjun, president of the precipice branch of the china economics and forestry association, said that the pepper industry needed to develop its full range of functions, promote the expansion of the pepper industry towards solarized supplies and health care, foster more “chain owners” enterprises in the head of the industrial chain and bring about an overall leap forward in the industrial chain; clean up the whole chain and promote the upgrading of enterprises in terms of advanced processing capacity, size, lead firms, brand influence, etc.; adapt to new consumption trends, increase product development in cooperation with higher schools and institutions, increase product value-added and build more end-seller products。
A few days ago, journalists walked into xinxiang city as a pre-processing workshop for the company biotech company, and saw a small sample of pepper seed from a black acre through advanced equipment for rapid selection and sifting, which was made available to late-stage leather oil and kernel oil processing. These are refined and end up as high-value-added products such as pepper oils and peppers. Liu yingjie, chairman of the board of directors of the corporation, described the annual processing of 30,000 tons of pepper seed by-products under the company's project for the integrated use of precipice seeds, which has now produced more than 20 high-value-added products that can be used in various fields, such as paint, fodder and the greater health industry。

This technology has transformed the flower seed, which has been treated as waste, into a high-value raw material, opening new avenues for the development of higher-quality local pepper industry。
Also in xinxiang city, the golden sunflower precipice platinum, limited liability, kim sunflower precipice, high-standard precision procession of precious precursors, hongda spense technology, inc., construction of the scinchilling complex of precipice, inc., catalysing the precautionary procession of precious precursors, with the aim of extending the product to a medium- and high-end, increasing product value added and market competitiveness. On the scene of the 8th korean precipice congress in recent days, the company's related director, shennie, showed journalists the sales volume of the company's live account, less than a minute later, resulting in an increase of more than 20 orders on delivery。
In recent years, a growing number of enterprises have moved fast towards precision processing. Precipitous oils, pepper yogurt, and paprika health products。

Out of the country, out of the market
As of 1 january this year, the peppers of jiang jin fong fong pi ltd in chongqing city have been exported with “identity cards”. Since this year, companies have achieved exports of more than $700,000, an increase of nearly 30 per cent over the same year. As a rare domestic export of precipice, it tastes sweet in the blue sea, which enters foreign markets。
In recent years, there has been a gradual increase in demand for chinese peppers in countries and regions such as korea, singapore and malaysia. As a result of the growing strength of our country's integrated state, combined with the high level of global trade and trade, the acceptance of chinese meals, represented by hot pots and canteens, has gradually increased. Foreign markets not only have strong demand, but prices are stable and high。
“the pepper industry needs to step up its exports and work with leading trading firms to open up export marketing channels, to push the industry to upgrade with market demand, to move the peppers abroad and to ease the saturation of the domestic market.” wang wenjun said。
On the one hand, demand in overseas markets has risen, and on the other hand, there is an urgent demand for exports. However, it is not easy to get out of the country。
How can we get out better? Liu yonghong told journalists that the production of green organic peppers and the reduction of pesticide residues were key. At present, poor land quality is a major obstacle to the organic production of peppers. Increasing soil organicity and increasing soil fertility is fundamental to the organic cultivation of peppers, and only by addressing the problem at source can the “hard bars” of export quality be passed。
Quality is an exit knock brick. Shortly ago, organic peppers from the korea-mun jiu specialized peaches cooperative met all eu standards for tested agricultural residues and were tested through korean indicators, with both parties preparing long-term supply contract orders. Korean cities export about 300 tons of pepper each year and export about $6 million annually. Export of pepper heavy metals and agricultural residues produced by chongqing enzer agricultural development co. Ltd. Using new technology meets the requirements for export of raw materials, and companies with which they have a marketing agreement have fresh peppers a total of $4 per kilogram higher than the market price and $12 per kilogram higher than the market price were purchased, with an increase of $3,000 per acre for pepper farmers。
Going out, industrial development needs a long-term perspective。
With the acceleration of the process of economic globalization and the gradual erosion of trade regulation instruments such as tariffs, some countries have made technical trade measures an important tool for trade protection。
In xinxiang city, 369. 3 hectares of pepper forest were certified in chinese forests, operated by shaanxihong sun-sung pepper company and the specialized cooperative for peaches in the korean city of monichi. Li xin, managing director of the jilin songper forest certification company, told journalists that the chinese forest certification system (cfcc) had re-recognized with the pefc and that forest certification was internationally accepted. For the korean pepper industry, it is possible to scale up cultivation, standardize management activities, inform processing storage, brandize distribution, increase market credibility and visibility and expand the brand influence of “big red pepper”。
“the future potential of the market for peppers is enormous with the emergence of new business practices such as spicy tastes at the national and even global levels, as well as prefabricated vegetables.” wang wenjun believes that the flower pepper industry needs to be combined in scientific research, production, processing and so on, so as to develop the entire industrial chain in a multi-functional and in-depth manner, so far as is feasible.
