Under the trend of global healthy eating and food technology innovation, China's frozen cauliflower industry is facing unprecedented development opportunities. As a processed food that balances nutrition, convenience, and storage advantages, frozen cauliflower not only occupies an important market share in China, but also demonstrates strong competitiveness on the international stage. In 2025, China's frozen cauliflower foreign trade will break through the waves of opportunities and challenges, writing a new chapter in the development of the industry.
According to data from the China Commerce Industry Research Institute, the export volume of fresh or refrigerated vegetables in China reached 1.05 million tons in January and February 2025, a year-on-year increase of 5.9%. Although the export amount has slightly decreased due to fluctuations in unit prices, the sustained growth in export volume reflects the strong demand for frozen cauliflower in the international market. From the perspective of trading partners, traditional markets such as Japan, the United States, South Korea, and Malaysia remain stable, accounting for 66.2% of China's vegetable and product exports in the first two months.
It is worth noting that emerging markets are becoming a new driving force for foreign trade growth. Thanks to tariff preferences brought by international agreements such as RCEP (Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership), China's exports of frozen cauliflower to Southeast Asian countries have increased by 25% annually. At the same time, the company actively seeks cooperation opportunities with high value-added markets such as Europe and America, and further expands its global market share through participating in international food exhibitions and establishing overseas warehouses.
Technological innovation has become the core driving force for the high-quality development of the frozen cauliflower industry. The popularization rate of IQF (single unit quick freezing) technology has reached 50%, significantly reducing nutrient loss rate and extending shelf life to 18 months; Vacuum lock fresh packaging technology is widely used to enhance product safety and added value. Breakthroughs have also been made in cold chain logistics technology, with the popularization of ultra-low temperature freezing (below 40 ℃) technology, providing guarantees for products to be exported worldwide.
The global awakening of health awareness has opened up new growth opportunities for the frozen cauliflower industry. 60% of consumers prioritize organic certified vegetables, driving rapid growth in the organic frozen cauliflower market. The expansion of the catering industry and the rise of the pre packaged food industry have driven a surge in B2B demand, with the catering service sector accounting for 65% of market applications. The proportion of e-commerce channels has increased to 30%, and emerging models such as community group buying and live streaming sales are accelerating market penetration.
2025 is a key milestone for the development of China's frozen cauliflower foreign trade. Faced with the complex and ever-changing international environment, enterprises need to take technological innovation as the engine, quality upgrading as the core, and green development as the background in order to cross the cycle and occupy a place in the global frozen food market. As industry observers have said, "The future belongs to those pioneers who can both safeguard traditional agricultural wisdom and embrace modern technological changes." China's frozen cauliflower industry is standing at such a historical intersection, embracing the world with an open attitude and writing a wonderful chapter from an agricultural power to an agricultural powerhouse.
