Vietnam has abundant agricultural resources, including high export value crops such as coffee, cassava, rubber, and cinnamon. However, among these economic crops, star anise has attracted much attention due to its unique economic value and export potential, and is known as the "million dollar tree". Vietnam is the world's second-largest producer of star anise, second only to China, with an annual output of approximately 22000 tons and a planting area of nearly 55000 hectares.
Octagonal fennel is widely cultivated only in Vietnam and China, and its unique aroma and versatility make it highly sought after in the international market. It is not only an important ingredient for food seasoning, but also widely used in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries. In recent years, the position of Vietnamese star anise in the international market has significantly increased. In order to meet the demand of the international market, Vietnamese export enterprises continuously improve production technology, enhance product quality, and gradually adopt modern processing procedures that comply with international food safety standards. In addition, the company has increased its research and development efforts in the deep processing of star anise products, thereby enhancing product added value and export competitiveness.
As the largest market for Chinese ground star anise and other spices, India has an extremely strong demand for spices and medicinal herbs, with Vietnam dominating the Indian market with over 80% market share. At the same time, the US market provides enormous growth potential for Chinese ground star anise due to its large population size and high demand for health products. In addition, markets such as Pakistan also maintain strong demand for ground star anise and other spice products, providing new opportunities for China's export expansion.
With the increasing demand for natural flavors among global consumers, the export potential of broken star anise continues to be promising. In the future, further promoting standardized planting, expanding the production of deep processed products, and strengthening international market development will be key measures for the broken star anise industry to enhance its global competitiveness. By integrating the entire industry chain of planting, processing, and export, China is expected to occupy a more important position in the international market.
