Research on China's Vegetable Exports from 2019 to the Present

Abstract

This paper conducts an in-depth analysis of China's vegetable exports from 2019 to the present. It comprehensively analyzes the scale, market distribution, and product structure of China's vegetable exports through relevant data. In terms of export scale, China has maintained a large-scale export volume of vegetables, with both quantity and value showing certain growth trends in some years. For example, in 2019, the export volume of vegetables reached 9,790,000 tons, and the export value was 15.5 billion US dollars, with a year-on-year increase of 3.3% and 1.7% respectively. In terms of market distribution, China's vegetable exports are mainly concentrated in Asian, European, and North American markets. Among them, Asian countries such as Japan, South Korea, and ASEAN countries are important export destinations, and the European Union and the United States also have a certain share. In addition, with the implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative, vegetable trade between China and partner countries has increased in recent years. The product structure of China's vegetable exports is relatively diverse, including fresh-frozen vegetables, processed vegetables such as canned and dehydrated vegetables. Fresh-frozen vegetables account for a relatively large proportion, and processed vegetables are also gradually increasing their market share with the improvement of processing technology. This paper also analyzes the factors affecting China's vegetable exports, including trade policies of importing countries, trade barriers (such as technical barriers to trade and green barriers), and the quality and safety of vegetables themselves. Finally, based on the above analysis, it makes a reasonable prediction and outlook on the future development trend of China's vegetable exports, believing that with the improvement of product quality and the expansion of the international market, China's vegetable exports still have certain development potential.
