Vegetable Industry Development Plan

    Since the reform and opening up, the vegetable industry has maintained a stable and rapid development as a whole, from a shortage of supply to a basic balance of total supply and demand, with increasingly rich varieties, continuous improvement of quality, and gradual improvement of the market system, showing a good development situation on the whole.

    Production continues. my country is the world's largest vegetable producer and consumer. Since the reform of the vegetable production and marketing system in the mid-1980s, with the acceleration of the adjustment of the planting industry structure, the national vegetable production has developed rapidly, the output has increased substantially, the market is basically balanced, and the supply situation has undergone fundamental changes.

  The quality has improved significantly. The quality and safety of agricultural products has been comprehensively strengthened, and the level of vegetable quality and safety has been significantly improved. According to the results of routine monitoring of agricultural product quality and safety by the Ministry of Agriculture, the pass rate of vegetable pesticide residue monitoring has been stable at over 95% in recent years, and the quality of vegetables is generally safe and secure. While the level of vegetable quality and safety has improved, the quality of commodities has also improved significantly, and the number of commercialized treatments such as vegetable cleaning, grading, packaging, and pre-cooling has increased year by year.

    The level of science and technology continues to improve. The continuous innovation and transformation of vegetable varieties and production technologies in my country has significantly improved the technological content of the industry and the level of production technology. More than 3,000 varieties of various types of vegetables have been selected and bred nationwide, and the main vegetable varieties have been updated 5-6 times, and the coverage rate of improved varieties has reached more than 90%; the facility vegetables have reached more than 50 million mu. In the outdoor cold conditions of minus 20 degrees Celsius, there is no need to heat up the production of warm-loving vegetables such as cucumbers and tomatoes, and its energy-saving effect is at the leading level in the world. In addition, technologies such as integrated control of vegetable pests and diseases, soilless cultivation, and water-saving irrigation have also made significant progress.

    The market circulation system has been continuously improved. Since the establishment of the country's first vegetable wholesale market in Shouguang, Shandong, the construction of the vegetable market has developed rapidly. There are more than 2,000 agricultural product wholesale markets and more than 20,000 farmers' markets that operate vegetables. The market system covering urban and rural areas across the country has basically been formed. It has played an active role in promoting farmers' income and guiding production development. According to incomplete statistics, 70% of vegetables are sold through wholesale markets, 80% are sold through farmers' markets in retail links, and 15% are sold through supermarkets in large and medium-sized cities, maintaining a rapid development momentum.

   In the national vegetable production areas and the suburbs of large and medium-sized cities, establish a vegetable production information monitoring system consisting of key counties for vegetable production information monitoring, provincial data processing centers, and ministerial data processing centers to guide farmers to rationally arrange production and strengthen government regulation. Proactive and forward-looking as well as the coping ability of the main body of production. Focus on building a network information platform, configure network servers and terminal equipment, and develop production information monitoring software; carry out vegetable production information monitoring, and collect, analyze, predict and release information on the sown area, yield, market period and production area price of bulk vegetables across the country. Provide timely, accurate and comprehensive production and early warning information, reasonably stagger the sowing and harvesting periods, prevent blind production, avoid a large number of listings or out-of-stocks, and promote the stable development of production and the smooth operation of the market.
