China: Domestic buckwheat intensive processing will welcome new opportunities for development

Published 2021년 3월 15일

Tridge summary

In 2020, unnormal climate conditions and epidemics in China's buckwheat planting areas led to a significant decrease in buckwheat production, with the most affected areas being Shanxi, Shaanxi, Ningxia, and Inner Mongolia. As a result, the total sown area of buckwheat in China reduced by nearly 1.5 million mu compared to 2019, and the total output dropped by approximately 150,000 tons. This has caused a supply shortage and a surge in prices for buckwheat products, which is expected to persist into 2021, with some increase in prices in the first half of the year. However, a decrease in the price of new grains and increased processing costs may lead to a reduction in the price of buckwheat products later in the year. Experts recommend that buckwheat production enterprises should seize the opportunity and develop high value-added products, special foods based on buckwheat, and expand into new markets to increase consumer groups and profitability. They also suggest enterprises should upgrade traditional food and improve processing technology to meet the needs of consumers for health and taste. The favorable development environment for buckwheat planting and processing is expected to last for 2-3 years.

In 2020, the abnormal climate in the buckwheat planting area in China, coupled with the epidemic, will have a greater adverse impact on buckwheat production and the market. A few days ago, the reporter interviewed two experts in the national oat buckwheat industry technical system post-Shaanxi Normal University Food College professor Hu Xinzhong and Shanxi Academy of Agricultural Sciences researcher Li Yunlong. The two experts interpreted and predicted the development of the industry with detailed data. According to expert analysis, the most severely affected areas last year were Shanxi, Shaanxi, Ningxia and other places. Main producing areas In Shanxi, the early drought, hail disasters occurred during the growth of buckwheat, and then rainy and low temperature during the flowering period, and early frosts in the maturity period, which seriously affected the yield; Shaanxi and Ningxia buckwheat production areas were severely dry, and the sown area and yield were reduced compared ...
