Since the 1990s, Chinese vegetable exports have increased rapidly, coinciding with the expansion of domestic vegetable production. The changes in Chinese vegetable trade structure were characterized by rapid increase in export quantity, diversification of export markets and, particularly after 1995, sharp decline in export price. Those changes were caused by factors such as government support policies, the price gap between Chinese vegetables and foreign vegetables, and competition in the domestic and international markets. In order to develop the export-oriented vegetable industry, it would be necessary to increase the export price of Chinese vegetable through the quality improvement and the reconstruction of distribution system.
