From scale to quality: decoding the advantages of China’s horseradish powder in foreign trade in 2025

In the international seasoning market of 2025, Chinese horseradish powder is demonstrating strong export competitiveness with many outstanding advantages, gradually expanding its global market territory. ​

From the perspective of production and scale advantages, China is already a major producer of horseradish powder. Taking Wafangdian as an example, as an important area for horseradish cultivation in China, it has a planting history of nearly half a century. After years of development, Wafangdian has transformed from a single planting base to a center for exporting and processing horseradish, with horseradish products accounting for nearly 70% of the global market share. Local enterprises like Dalian Rongchang Food Co., Ltd. have 3 world-class automated low-temperature production lines, 8 modern room temperature production lines with independent intellectual property rights, and advanced aseptic production workshops, with an annual output of 10000 tons. Not only Wafangdian, but also Nanyang Town in Dafeng, Jiangsu is making efforts in the horseradish industry. As a professional horseradish planting village, Chengxin Village in Nanyang Town innovatively develops intercropping models such as "horseradish corn" and "horseradish corn garlic", with an annual horseradish production of 20000 tons. The large-scale cultivation and production have laid a solid foundation for the large-scale export of horseradish powder from China, and sufficient supply of goods can stably meet the sustained growth demand of the international market. ​

In terms of quality control and improvement, China's horseradish powder has also made significant progress. On the one hand, the horseradish planting areas in China have unique natural conditions. Wafangdian is known as the "First Hometown of Horseradish in China", producing high-quality horseradish with a pure taste. Nanyang Town, with its warm and humid climate and abundant solar and thermal resources, makes the horseradish produced particularly "healthy". On the other hand, the entire process from planting to processing is becoming increasingly standardized. Dalian Changxing Island Customs leverages its professional and technical advantages to guide enterprises in standardizing processes such as raw material cultivation, production and processing, packaging and storage, and product testing. It also proposes improvement suggestions for the operation of the enterprise's food safety and hygiene control system. The enterprise itself actively introduces advanced technology and equipment, continuously optimizes production processes, and enables Chinese horseradish powder to benchmark international high standards in quality, winning a good reputation in the international market. ​

The improvement of industrial clusters and industrial chains is also a major advantage of China's chopped horseradish in foreign trade. Wafangdian has initially formed an industrial cluster mainly composed of chopped horseradish and seasonings, with related products exported to more than 60 countries and regions. There are many leading enterprises in the local area, such as Rongchang Food, Tianpeng Food, and Shancheng Chopped Horseradish. From chopped horseradish planting, rough processing to deep processing, and then to product sales, each link works closely together to form a complete industrial chain. This industrial cluster effect not only reduces production costs, but also enhances product innovation capabilities, enabling rapid response to diverse demands in the international market. It launches functional chopped horseradish products such as low salt and low sugar, further expanding the market. ​

In 2025, with the advantages of production scale, quality, industrial cluster, and policy support, China's minced horseradish will become increasingly competitive in the international market. In the future, it is expected to occupy a more important position in the global seasoning market and create more brilliant foreign trade achievements. ​
