The country has a large variety of cross-flower vegetables, their wide distribution and the area under cultivation, which account for more than 30 per cent of the country's vegetable area, and has an important place in our vegetable industry。
In our lives, we see a lot of cross-flower vegetables on the table, such as cabbage, kale, mustard, carrots, etc. As “generic vegetables”, the cross-flower family plays an important role in stabilizing the “basket” supply and providing emergency support。
What is the current state of industrial development of the selected categories of cross-flower vegetables? What is the international trade situation? Let's get to the point today
Old-name kale
They still have market advantages
The green vegetables originated on the mediterranean coast and evolved from wild kale. The long-term selection has resulted in the formation of such species as condensed kale, tuber blue, cape kale, mustard blue and variants. Owing to its diversity, diversity, adaptability, ease of cultivation and high productivity, cultivation has been widespread and has been in our country for over 100 years。
Glycerine, also known as cabbage, cabbage, and cabbage, orchids, feed with leafball, is the most grown vegetable of the kale. The types of cultivation mouths can be classified as early spring conservation, early spring field planting, summer planting, fall field cultivation and winterization in the yangtze basin. Leaf ball shapes can be divided into flatball, ball and cow heart。
China is ranked first in the world in terms of the area and production of kale vegetables, with more than 20 provinces and cities growing kale, including hebei, gansu, yunnan, hubei and shandong, which are larger. Among these kale, other kale varieties, apart from the two types of kale abroad, which occupy part of the market in autumn and winter, continue to dominate with the varieties that our country has freely chosen. “kyoto 1 was the first hybrid blue species to succeed in the country's own selection in 1973, and it is still the largest growing species in the country and the world.” a researcher at the vegetable flower institute of the chinese academy of agricultural sciences, gao fu xin, said。
In international trade and in the global market, the kale varieties that we have chosen also occupy an important place. According to gao fu-hin, our imports of seeds are mainly at the tipping points of winter and fall kale, but are influenced by factors such as the quantity and price of seeds, which account for only 10 per cent of the annual crop of kale seeds. Seed exports, mainly to south-east asia, the middle east and africa, are dominated by high-yielding and large varieties。
As living conditions improve, the market demand for good-quality kale grows. It is understood that good-quality kale purchase prices can often be 1-3 cents more expensive than poor-quality ones, and market prices can be as low as 3-5 cents, and high-quality kale is gradually meeting people's needs. At the same time, a number of relatively cheap, high-yielding and dry-substance kale have been used for dehydration processing as food-friendly dressing packages to meet diversified consumption needs in the market。
It's the main radish area
North-south complementarities anniversary supply
In china, radish is popularly known as “minor ginseng”. As a member of a cross-flower vegetable, radish is cultivated around the world, with a long history of cultivation and more types. China is a major consumer of radish cultivation, and production and sowing area have been increasing in recent years. By region, hubei, sichuan, guangdong, fujian, henan, hebei, shandong, shaanxi, jiangsu, liaoning, jilin, etc. Are the main producing areas of radish。
In recent years, as a result of climate change, changes in cropping patterns, upgrading of management techniques and supply demand for the anniversary, large farmers in the south have begun to migrate to the north, with the north becoming a new home area for radish. The north and south had complementary strengths and had achieved a national anniversary supply of high-quality carrots。
“in terms of plant varieties, the country's autonomously selected varieties have a clear advantage over hot white carrots, fruit carrots, local radishs, such as beijing, seven star carrots, texiami 50, quinyo 3, etc., while the winter white radish is still dominated by foreign varieties, so that japan and south korean enterprises, while maintaining their advantages, continue to choose diverse varieties to suit china's market needs in order to maintain their competitive advantage. With the absolute advantage of radish, our country has also witnessed a rapid increase in the breeding of white carrots, with a rapid increase in occupancy in the white radish market, as well as a significant increase in exports abroad, which has become the dominant plant species in some of the overseas markets, creating some international competitiveness.” according to ko su-young, product manager, terai industries limited, beijing。
In addition to fresh food, the processing of carrots is an important component, mainly dry and salty. Among them, radish drying and radish strip processing are dominated by yunnan, jilin, liaoning, hebei, shandong, etc. “dry products often require high levels of dry matter, high levels of drying, high yield, good taste, high yield, and good resistance.” according to gao su-young, the radish processing industry is still lagging behind, hoping that the radish industry will be able to expand its lead role, build brands, dig into brand values, increase the value added of the radish and build a whole chain of radish. To promote the integration of the carrot industry with tourism, culture and health。
There's plenty of cabbage
It's geographical, it's ecological
In academic terms, cabbage can be divided into cabbage (big cabbage) and non-college cabbage (breeds, cabbage, etc.), while in some cases cabbage can also be eaten during the nursery season and in the medium term, it is called cabbage (breeds, fast vegetables, etc.). In recent years, there has been an increase in the area under cultivation of these types of cabbage, which, according to incomplete data, is growing over 30 million acres a year, accounting for more than 10 per cent of the country's total vegetable crop, the country's largest winter storage. Its value exceeds 60 billion yuan and is important in balancing market supplies and stabilizing vegetable prices。
The main traditional provinces are shandong, hebei, henan, shanxi, inner mongolia, shaanxi and north-east provinces, and have gradually formed seven leading areas, such as the north-east autumn pillery production area, the autumn grand pillow production area of the huangye river basin, the autumn and mid-range pill bellow production area of the yangjiang highlands, the autumn highlands of the cloud highlands, the summer and autumn beak production area of the yellow highlands, the yunquix and the china-south winter bellow production area, and the new spring grand pill production area of the hua。
According to zhang bin, director of the vegetable research institute of tianjin agricultural technology co. Ltd., cabbage varieties are of a regional and ecological nature, and different places have their own unique varieties, with different appearances. For example, henan's cabbage is a reverse triangle, tianjin's cabbage is tall, and the north-east is relatively short. Despite the market conditions that have affected the past few years, the variety has interacted and permeated more rapidly, but the variety is still more geographically strong。
“in terms of statistical observations of the consumer market, cabbage is shifting from a production-oriented to a production-quality merger, where the market needs large cabbage that is not only good-looking but also good, while yellow heart cabbage is increasingly gaining popularity in the consumer market; it also needs to evolve towards small and medium size in terms of size and size of varieties to meet modern family structures and consumption habits.” according to zhang bin, in the light of the international trade situation, our autumn vegetables, including cabbage and seedling, are now largely domestic in nature, while the two types of cabbage that are resistant to smoking are small and dependent on foreign varieties。
Export demand for development
There's an increase in the variety of home-grown orchids
The cabbage, also known as broccoli, green broccoli, wooden broccoli, green broccoli, etc., is part of the transvestite cyanide. Being known as “vegetable crowns” because of their nutritional enrichment and green health, it is popular with domestic and foreign consumers and is an international popular vegetable。
According to statistics, in 2019, the area under which our green cabbage was grown was more than 86,000 hm2 (1. 3 million acres) with a production of 3. 896,000-4. 158 million tons. The main areas under cultivation are yunnan, zhejiang, hebei, jiangsu, hubei, shandong, etc., representing an increase of more than 10 per cent over 2017 (76,000 hm2). At present, with the exception of hainan, our provinces and municipalities directly under our jurisdiction have achieved the full cultivation of cabbage, which ensures our supply and export needs for the anniversary。
According to the vice-researcher of the institute of vegetable flowers of the chinese academy of agricultural sciences, and expert in the technology system for the vegetable industry in the countries of “135” and “145”, li jing province, in recent years we have exported about 140,000 tons of green vegetables annually, mainly to japan, thailand, singapore, malaysia, the united states, europe and central asia, which account for a relatively high share of nearly 1,000 varieties of vegetables, making them an important feature of farmers' growth, poverty alleviation and industrial growth。
At the same time, however, our imports of vegetable seeds are also high, reaching more than 80 per cent by 2018 and high import dependency. Some foreign varieties, such as sakada japan, the strong man of san nisa, and hyuso 90 japan, continue to dominate most of the market for green vegetable seeds in our country and internationally, thanks to their excellent variety and comprehensive commercial advantages。
In 2018, at the initiative of two ministries, the agricultural department of zhejiang province led the formation of a joint scientific research team for the country's major species of zhejiang broccoli, which initially selected a group of seedlings and potential varieties, such as chongqing 16, chongqing 319, lead 4, xyd1801, bhi-green 258, zhiqing 60, zhiqing 80 and tai-yeong 6, which have increased the country's share of the national market from less than 8 per cent in 2017 to 15 to 20 per cent。
The market for loose cabbage is in great demand
Part of the flower country's species are moving to the world
The broccoli, also known as cauliflowers, cabbage, kale or cabbage, is a very popular vegetable with excellent taste, high nutrition and cancer resistance. The broccoli can be divided into two types: hard-line and loose. In the early days, chinese mainland was mainly growing hard-to-eat vegetables, which began to grow on large areas of the continent by the introduction of loose cabbage from taiwan around 2007。
Sunderling, a researcher at the academy of agricultural sciences of tianjin city, described the total area of vegetable cultivation in the country as about 7 million acres, of which 1. 5 million are green and 6 million are cabbage; the cabbage consists of 5 million acres of cedar and 1 million acres of cuisine. Cultivation is spread throughout the country, although there are several major production areas, such as gansu and zhang jiakou dam, which are home to two larger areas of summer vegetable production in the highlands, as well as several larger areas of vegetable cultivation in henan, hebei, shandong, jiangsu and zhejiang。
In terms of area under cultivation, loose cabbage accounts for 60 to 70 per cent of the country's area under cultivation, with a large market share. The main reason for the widespread spread of loose vegetables in recent years is that they are popular in the market because they taste more quickly after cooking, and because they taste better. “the market name for this type of dish is organic, but in fact it is not scientific, and there are two types of lax and tight. Sunderling says。
In addition, we have a relatively high export volume of seeds from our crumbs, with an annual export volume of about 15 tons of seeds, the highest export of vegetable seeds, mainly to countries along the way, such as india, pakistan, bangladesh, viet nam and malaysia, and even some varieties that have become the main plant varieties in countries such as pakistan and india。
In order to further promote the sharing of cross-flower vegetables with the world, the flower industry has flourished. The third international congress of the crucifixed vegetables industry was held in hebei tong, china, from 21 to 23 october 2021. The conference brought a fresh experience to participants by setting up an international platform to bring together national and international excellence and inviting industries to connect seamlessly with downstream and upstream enterprises。
The site of the exhibition is located in jintai city, hebei province, in jintai district, where we stayed on october 21-23
