In the global food market by 2025, Chinese frozen parsley is becoming a prominent category in international trade due to its advantages in the entire industry chain and precise market layout. From fields to overseas shelves, its foreign trade competitiveness is rooted in the deep integration of industrial upgrading and market demand, demonstrating multidimensional core advantages.
The scale and stability of the supply chain form the cornerstone of competition. China has formed a pattern of coordinated development between core and characteristic production areas in the Huang Huai River Basin. Shandong, Henan, and Hebei provinces contribute over 60% of the country's production. Yancheng, Jiangsu has built the largest frozen vegetable processing base in Asia, with an annual processing capacity of 280000 tons of fresh vegetables, providing sufficient raw material guarantee for frozen parsley. Yunnan's 32000 mu organic planting area has passed the EU GAP certification, and Henan's greenhouse has achieved annual production. The yield per mu has increased by 35% compared to outdoor planting, effectively filling the seasonal supply gap in the international market. The popularization of smart water and fertilizer technology has led to a 43.8% increase in yield over the past five years, ensuring the sustained stability of export sources.
Quality upgrade and standard adaptation directly meet the needs of the international market. The breakthrough in low-temperature freezing technology allows parsley to retain more than 90% of its nutritional content, which is in line with the global trend of healthy eating. More than 70% of consumers prefer this type of fresh-keeping product. In response to EU food safety standards and US labeling regulations, the company has established a full process quality inspection system, and the pesticide residue qualification rate has exceeded 99% for three consecutive years. The premium rate of high-end categories such as organic and selenium rich is 45%, accurately connecting with the high-end supermarkets and health product markets in Europe and America. The export proportion of organic frozen parsley leaves is expected to exceed 18% by 2025.
Diversifying market channels and upgrading logistics to broaden overseas routes. The export destinations have extended from traditional Asian markets to 32 countries in Europe and America, with Southeast Asia becoming a core incremental market due to strong demand. The booming development of cross-border e-commerce breaks geographical limitations, and enterprises directly connect with overseas consumers through platforms, significantly enhancing brand influence. The improvement of the cold chain logistics network has reduced the cross-border transportation loss rate to below 5%. The cold chain dedicated line from Shouguang, Shandong to Japan and South Korea has achieved 48 hour direct delivery, reducing logistics costs by 22% compared to 2020, highlighting the advantages of timeliness and cost.
Policy dividends and industry synergy strengthen foreign trade support. The country has introduced policies such as export tax rebates and optimized customs clearance, further reducing regional trade barriers under the RCEP framework. Industry associations build cooperation platforms through international exhibitions to promote direct communication between enterprises and overseas buyers. Leading enterprises have taken the lead in integrating breeding, planting, and processing processes, with a total industry chain scale exceeding 38 billion yuan, forming a competitive force of "going global together".
In 2025, China's frozen chopped parsley is writing a "Chinese flavor" foreign trade answer sheet in the global market with its multidimensional advantages in supply chain, quality, channels, and policies, becoming a model for agricultural products to go global.
