Research on the Development Status and Trends of the Asparagus Industry as a Special Vegetable
[Objective] To provide theoretical basis for promoting the sustainable development of China's asparagus industry, the current situ-ation and trends of Chinese special vegetable asparagus industry were investigated and analyzed, some development suggestions were put for-ward from the aspects of production and consumption, facility cultivation, deep processing, and opportunities and challenges faced by interna-tional trade of asparagus.[Method] According to the asparagus production data of FAO(China,mainland)and the asparagus trade data of Chi-na Customs(all trade),the article studies the production,consumption trend and import and export trade status of Chinese asparagus.[Result] The area and output of Chinese asparagus rank first in the world and occupy absolute advantage in the world. In the past decade,the growth rate of Chinese asparagus area and yield has been relatively slow,while the growth rate of unit yield is very low,the technological content is not high,which has room for further improvement. The apparent consumption of Chinese asparagus is 7.341 million tons in 2021,far surpassing other countries,The per capita apparent consumption is 5.15 kg/person,next only to Peru (6.80 kg/person),exceeding the consumption level of developed countries. With the improvement of contemporary living standards and the upgrading of consumption levels, the consumption structure and mode of asparagus products are showing a diversified trend. Chinese fresh or refrigerated asparagus is mainly sold to neighboring areas and developed countries in Asia. In 2021, the export volume of asparagus to Macau and Japan both exceeded 100 tons,and the export value to Japan exceeded 370000 US dollars,export earnings are very significant,and the import scale is relatively small. The export volume of canned asparagus in China has remained stable in the past 10 years,the export value has significantly decreased, the export unit price has re-mained at a high level, and the import scale is very small. Canned asparagus is mainly sold to EU markets such as Spain, the Netherlands, and Germany. [Conclusion]We should recognize the new characteristics of asparagus consumption patterns, promote facility cultivation, en-sure stable economic growth, optimize industrial structure, integrate three industries for development, further implement the strategy of diversi-fied asparagus trade, and promote the sustainable development of China's asparagus industry.
