The market demand of vegetable seeds depends on vegetable market demand. In 2016, per capita consumption of vegetables of urban and rural households in China was 96.9 kg, thereinto, per capita consumption of vegetables of urban households was 103.2 kg, per capita consumption of vegetables of rural households was 89.7 kg. From 2000 to 2010, output of China’s vegetables increased 46.4%, with CAGR of 3.9%; meanwhile, vegetable yield of per sown area hectares increased 17.4%, with CAGR of 1.6%, the capacity of China’s vegetables increased stable. By the end of 2016, output of China’s vegetables reached around 800 million tonnes, an increase of 3.39%.
According to , it planned that the greenhouse cover area will reach 700 thousand hectares, the vegetable output from greenhouse reaches 286 million tonnes. It is foreseeable that the vegetable seeding area and seeds demand will continuous increase in the future 5 years. Benefit from the supports from government, vegetable industry shows huge potential.
