Gold prices comparable to foreign seed Jiucheng Jiangsu homemade vegetable seeds

Recently, some media and foreign control of the seed has high vegetable seeds in China more than 50% market share, almost all of the vegetable varieties. In China’s largest vegetable base – Shandong Shouguang, 60% to 80% of vegetable species is foreign seed. Some expressed concern about the industry: foreign seed gradually “rule” vegetable seed market, the public will lose the table’s “pricing power” can not afford to eat vegetables. Foreign seeds in the Jiangsu market situation? Yesterday, the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences Institute of Vegetable Research Fellow Diao Long Yang told reporters, vegetable seed market in the province, more than 90% are made in China.

Gold prices comparable to foreign seed

“Foreign vegetable seeds, expensive high-end, even if the price of ordinary vegetable seeds, seed than made 5 to 10 times more expensive.” Diao Long Yang said. Reporters also saw a number of seed sites, merchants listed offer foreign vegetable species: the Dutch fruit Kohlrabi Seed 2500 / bags, wholesale price 0.3 yuan / tablets; Israel tomato seeds 1 g / bag, wholesale price 65 yuan; Netherlands Pepper seeds, 500 / bag, wholesale price 180 … … and some seed price up to 200-300 yuan / g, comparable to the gold price. So “Jingui” seed, grown vegetables, do not think you can hardly succeed. Large supermarkets in the “Spanish lettuce”, “Israel cherry tomatoes,” “French beans”, the high prices that discourage ordinary people.

“However, farmers select seeds, do not see is the ‘foreign seed’ or ‘soil seed’.” Diao Long Yang told reporters that the seed is a means of production, vegetable selection criteria, the main three. First, after the seed species will sell out, in line with market demand; Second, better seed quality, resistance to diseases, “body” Well, how much by rain, the temperature is of little, vegetables to be good, good-looking, anti- Storage; third affordable, people can afford these vegetables. The criteria for enterprise selection is only one seed, and that is market demand. “From a practical point of view, like most people, the greatest demand, or made of vegetables.”

Food market on the foreign seeds not exceeding 10%

Diao Long Yang said, from our perspective the actual acreage of vegetables, is still dominated by “soil seed” and only in specific areas, specific cultivation methods, particularly crop species, the existence of foreign seed accounted for more cases share such as small greenhouse in the north of color within the pepper, processing of broccoli, heat a small vegetables, cabbage, but the proportion of foreign seeds not more than 10%.

“China’s edible species have more than 170 kinds of vegetables, and vegetable species and much less foreign.” Diao Long, said Yang, Jiangsu vegetable cultivation area of more than 2,000 acres, most people eat chili, tomatoes, eggplant, watermelon, tender corn, and leafy vegetables and beans, which at least 90% of vegetable seeds are made of. “Xinghua is the country and the world’s largest dehydrated vegetable production and processing bases, so to speak, over 80% of the global instant noodle seasoning bag of dehydrated vegetables, are produced in Xinghua, and these seeds are made. Academy of Agricultural Sciences also cultivated ‘Su pepper 5′, is of Jiangsu and even the country’s main cultivated thin pepper seeds. ”

Diao Long Yang is also the Vegetable Seed Technology Co., Ltd. Jiangsu Jiang, general manager, told reporters that his company made a 30-year seed promotion, sales, breeding all the seeds of their own provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Yesterday, reporters learned through Provincial Agriculture Committee, vegetable planting base in the province, the seed is basically a province or enterprise training outside the province, the vast majority of farmers have never bought foreign seed.

Part of “soil seed” love “wearing Western hats”

Diao Long Yang believes that the reason some people will have “foreign rule of China’s vegetable seed market to be” kind of “illusion”, there are two reasons. “A considerable portion of the domestic seed like wearing ‘Western hat’, ‘posing’.” He said, some of the banner of “Italian lettuce”, “American pepper,” “Holland tomatoes” and other foreign flag, as well as The seed companies can even import and export of approval issued by seed, but the basic fact is made in China. “It’s like a brand of bag is not very much, but if the top hit ‘LV’ logo, giving the impression is different.” He said, some people always feel that good things abroad, which also makes vegetables has been wearing on “foreign hat”, “value” on the doubling.

He told reporters that in some agricultural demonstration zone, much of some kinds of foreign seeds; other big supermarkets will sell a bit of vegetables imported from abroad, these factors also contributed to the Chinese invasion of foreign vegetable seed market, “misunderstanding.” “For example, we often see in supermarkets, imported red peppers, but the market share occupied by very few. Farms sold and bought most of the people made of thin-skinned peppers.”
