China Vegetable Seed Market Trends
Potatoes and peas are the major vegetables cultivated in the country, with other vegetables also witnessing growth owing to favorable market prices
- China is one of the major vegetable-producing countries in the world, leading in the area under cultivation of the majority of vegetables. In 2022, the area under cultivation of vegetables in the country was 22.7 million hectares, which was an increase of 3.9% between 2017 and 2022. The area under vegetable cultivation in the country declined by 2.7% in 2019 compared to 2018. The dip in the acreage was attributed to the decline in the acreage of major crops such as potatoes, peas, onions, and chilies.
- In China, unclassified vegetables and roots and bulbs accounted for a major share of the vegetable acreage, with 44.7% and 30.8% in 2022, respectively. The higher share of these vegetable segments in the country was because of the presence of major vegetables such as potatoes, asparagus, peas, and onions, which occupied 17.2%, 4.3%, 4.2%, and 3.4% of the vegetable acreage in 2022, respectively. Globally, China is the largest producer of potatoes, and its acreage is estimated to increase further owing to its demand in export markets and agronomic advantages for potato cultivation, such as cold resistance, geographic adaptability, and drought tolerance. Additionally, Cucurbits and Solanaceae are also the major crops cultivated in the country, wherein cucumber and gherkin and tomatoes are the major vegetables. These vegetables accounted for 1.3 million hectares and 1.16 million hectares in 2022, respectively. Shandong, Xinjiang, Hebei, and Henan provinces were the main tomato-producing provinces in China, accounting for more than 50% of the production in China in 2022.
- Therefore, the demand from fresh food and processing markets, favorable climatic conditions, and international demand are estimated to drive vegetable acreage in the country.

Growing preference for disease-resistant tomato varieties and the quality attributes of specific lettuce traits are helping in the growth of the market
- Tomato is an important vegetable crop widely cultivated in China. Tomatoes are grown mainly in plastic tunnels or open fields. Varieties with large fruit, red or pink, are mostly favored by farmers and consumers in China. Disease resistance, pest resistance, quality and quantitative traits, heat tolerance, and longer maturity for production are the most popular traits cultivated in China. Moreover, there is significant demand for varieties resistant to diseases, such as tomato mosaic virus and yellow leaf curl mosaic virus, and resistant to whiteflies and thrips, where infection of these pathogens causes yield losses of more than 90% in the field.
- Globally, China is the largest producer of lettuce, producing more than 50% of the crop in 2022. The popular traits cultivated in the country are the varieties with resistance to disease, tolerance to bolting and heat, quality traits such as the color and type of leaves, quantitative traits, and wider adaptability. The quality attributes are significant in selling the final crop to the customers and have been popular in producing different types of lettuce. Moreover, it is expected that disease-resistant varieties for diseases such as leaf blight and downy mildew will witness growth in the future.
- Major companies breeding the tomato and lettuce traits in the country are Enza Zaden, Syngenta, Bayer Crop Science (Seminis), and Rijk Zwaan Zaadhandel BV.
- Factors such as low water due to climatic conditions and diseases such as tomato mosaic virus, leaf blight, and downy mildew are affecting the growth of crops, and these factors are expected to help in the introduction of new seed varieties during the forecast period.

Market Definition
- Commercial Seed - For the purpose of this study, only commercial seeds have been included as part of the scope. Farm-saved Seeds, which are not commercially labeled are excluded from scope, even though a minor percentage of farm-saved seeds are exchanged commercially among farmers. The scope also excludes vegetatively reproduced crops and plant parts, which may be commercially sold in the market.
- Crop Acreage - While calculating the acreage under different crops, the Gross Cropped Area has been considered. Also known as Area Harvested, according to the Food & Agricultural Organization (FAO), this includes the total area cultivated under a particular crop across seasons.
- Seed Replacement Rate - Seed Replacement Rate is the percentage of area sown out of the total area of crop planted in the season by using certified/quality seeds other than the farm-saved seed.
- Protected Cultivation - The report defines protected cultivation as the process of growing crops in a controlled environment. This includes greenhouses, glasshouses, hydroponics, aeroponics, or any other cultivation system that protects the crop against any abiotic stress. However, cultivation in an open field using plastic mulch is excluded from this definition and is included under open field.
