At the Hortiflorexpo IPM Shanghai 2019 , the ' Overview of the Floricultural Sector in China ' report was present , commission by the Dutch embassy in Beijing . The report , an update of a similar written report from 2008 , provide an overview of the current res publica of affairs in the Chinese ornamental diligence : what ’s produced where and by whom , what are the major ontogenesis in the diligence and where is it head in the coming old age ? We ’ve heel the main findings below .
In 2016 , the entire acreage of cosmetic cultivation in China was 1.34 million hectares . This land area is divided into 64,500 hectares of cut flowers , 106,000 hectare of potted plants and 777,000 hectares of Tree and shrub . Over the preceding two years , there has been marginal increment in this area . All in all , the products fetch 18 billion euro in the domesticated sweeping market , and 26 billion euros in retail . Export was a bit more than half a billion euros .

ProductionAlthough the average Chinese consumer has more to spend , potted plant are popular and shortened flowers look at a bit of a luxury detail , production meanwhile behind . The write up mentions small plots , strong competition with food crops , increasing costs for input and Labour , deficiency of know - how , circumscribed investments in substructure and cooling , and perhaps as the most of import challenge : trade protection of plant varieties leaves much to be desired .
The flower yield is concentrated in Yunnan and around a few of the larger cities . The focus is on pink wine , carnations , lily , gladioli , chrysanthemum and genus Gerbera . The production of potted plants ( orchid , bromeliad and anthurium , as well as ' newbie ' like succulents , potted rose , calla and kalanchoe ) is more evenly circularise across the country .

CommunismInteresting , and ' require to know ' for an enterpriser with programme in China , is the so - called Five Year Plan . In the current , thirteenth Five Year Plan ( 2016 - 2020 ) , the governing notes that the current production land area is about as liberal as it will get , with 30 ' mega flower go-ahead ' to be established within that acreage . Also , the wholesale & retail market is still mostly province - run . That use to production and buying as well . The nation is by far the biggest emptor .
Still , these marketplace moral force offer opportunities for independent entrepreneurs . Because of the mostly outdated infrastructure and a lusterless insensate chain , new investor see opportunities to organize this better themselves . And although sale of bloom and plant are done in a traditional manner - nearly everything survive through the florist , there are scarcely any supermarkets or DIY stores - atomic number 99 - DoC is booming and offers opportunities .
ImportIn exercise , a limited number of products are spell . Bulbs in the first place : around 535 million of them in 2017 . Apart from that , cut flowers are an more and more significant import intersection , on the one hand because roadblocks are taken away by the government , on the other bridge player because the Dutch are pushing their flower . This also applies to technique : more and more provider with horticultural know - how and tech are opening offshoot offices in China , and for a good ' Dutch farm manager ' , local company are willing to pay .
