Last month, there were no domestic imports of tomato and green onion seeds from China, and a major disruption occurred in the import of seeds such as peppers, pumpkins, and cabbage. China halted the export of domestically produced seeds, causing difficulties for domestic seed companies, and although exports have gradually resumed, tensions in the industry remain as this situation could repeat itself at any time. The domestic seed industry is concerned about the high proportion of Chinese seedlings due to similar climatic conditions and calls for action from the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs to prevent a recurrence of the situation.
