First. Overview of dehydrated vegetables industry
1、Concept and classification
Dehydrated vegetables, also known as rehydrated vegetables, are fresh vegetables after washing, drying and other processing, removing most of the water in the vegetables and made of a kind of dry vegetables. The original colour, lustre and nutrients of vegetables basically remain unchanged. It is easy to store and transport, and can effectively regulate the season of vegetable production. When consumed, as long as it is immersed in water can be restored, and retain the original colour, nutrition and flavour of vegetables. Dehydrated vegetables can be divided into two kinds of AD vegetables and FD vegetables.
2、Methods of vegetable dehydration
Common dehydrated vegetables are mushrooms and algae, bean curd, celery, green pepper, cucumber and so on. Dehydrated vegetables can be divided into natural sun drying, hot air drying dehydration and freezing vacuum drying dehydration according to its dehydration method.
Second, the vegetable industry chain analysis
China's vegetable industry chain mainly includes production, acquisition, processing, wholesalers, retail and other links, due to the low level of per capita capital of farmers, their ability to undertake the channel circulation is relatively limited, in this context, multi-level channel business to adapt to national conditions.
Third, the current situation of dehydrated vegetables industry
1, production
Compared with other fresh vegetables, dehydrated vegetables have small size, light weight, into the water will be restored, transport and consumption of convenient characteristics. When eating not only taste, colour and fresh, and can maintain the original nutritional value. In recent years, China's dehydrated vegetables production continues to grow, China's dehydrated vegetables production in 2020 was about 405,400 tonnes, an increase of 9.13%, is expected to be about 448,800 tonnes in 2021, an increase of 8.73%.
2、Import and export situation
The export value of China's dried vegetable products is much larger than the import value. According to the General Administration of Customs data, in 2021, China's dry vegetables cumulative imports reached 0.17 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 37.78% year-on-year; exports amounted to 2.178 billion U.S. dollars, a year-on-year increase of 2.02%.
Fourth, dehydrated vegetables industry prospects
Dehydrated vegetables are widely used, almost involved in all areas of food processing, it can not only be used to improve the nutrient content of the product, increase the colour and flavour of the product, but also to make the product varieties richer, greatly improving the food structure of the majority of consumers. But to develop dehydrated vegetables industry should also further accelerate the structural adjustment of the agricultural industry, the industry bigger and stronger.
1, anti-stagnation, fresh goods will be processed and preserved.
After the harvest, some fruits and vegetables sometimes can not be sold in a timely manner, in order to avoid rotting, some farmers will choose to dehydrate them for processing, in order to increase the time of preservation.
2. Dried dehydrated fruits and vegetables.
In recent years, dehydrated dried fruits and vegetables often appear in the supermarket snacks. This snack is not only crunchy and convenient to eat, but also meets the needs of today's busy population of vegetables and fruits. Such a new type of deep processing of agricultural by-products, can be very effective in preventing the production of fruits and vegetables because of the high yield and possible marketing problems, and more importantly, to create more added value for farmers and friends.
3, convenience food ingredients.
At present, the largest domestic purchaser of dehydrated vegetables is those instant noodle manufacturers, ingredients, vegetables are essential. Even if they exclude the products exported to Japan, Korea and Southeast Asia, their annual purchase volume is not less than 10,000 tonnes. During the epidemic, some processed food from China, become the focus of foreign consumers to stock up on supplies, foreign trade is still growing against the trend. In addition, the rise of new convenience foods also provides new development for the dehydrated vegetable industry, the ingredients are getting richer and richer, and more dehydrated vegetables are needed. Therefore, dehydrated fruits and vegetables this market is promising.
