In the next 30 years, the development prospects of China’s agriculture are mainly reflected in the “five major trends”, including enormous opportunities for agricultural industrialization, agricultural product processing, and the food industry, policy dividends, capitalization opportunities, and deep processing dividends. Mining and utilizing these five gold mines effectively captures the future of agriculture.As early as the end of the 20th century, Qian Xuesen, a famous scientist, once said in his proposal on China’s agricultural development: “On the basis of China’s small-scale peasant economy, it is impossible to spontaneously move towards agricultural industrialization; the fundamental driving force of China’s agricultural modernization lies in scientific and technological innovation, the process of industrialization, and the modernization process of the whole country.” Time has passed, and today’s agriculture has moved forward in the process of modernization. Looking ahead to the prospects of agriculture, countless people predict that agriculture will be a blue ocean of ten trillion yuan. So, what areas are the opportunities for agriculture focused on?01Industrialization Helps Agriculture Achieve Triple JumpWithout industrialization of agriculture, everything is in vain! In fact, agricultural industrialization can be achieved through three-level leaps.01. Changing production methodsAfter the industrialization of agriculture, the mode of agricultural production and management will be forced to change, which brings huge strategic opportunities. Agriculture will design products according to the market, develop markets based on user needs, and undergo reforms in the standardization of production and modernization of management.02. Increase marketing channels for agricultural productsThere is only one path for current agricultural products: from fields to dining tables. Although the “agriculture+internet” approach has helped the market eliminate intermediaries and helped establish mutual communication between agricultural products and citizens. However, the channels are still single. After the consumption upgrade, consumers’ expectations for agricultural products have become higher, including taste, packaging, brand, etc. Therefore, these things can be completed and realized by the processing industry.03. Complete transformation of agricultural productsAfter the industrialization of agricultural products, they have become new forms of products such as food, handicrafts, and gifts. At the same time, industrialization will give agricultural products imagination space and market opportunities. Therefore, the key task of agricultural operators is not only to produce high-quality agricultural products, but also to satisfy consumers’ imagination of agricultural products and bring about revolutionary changes in agricultural products.Huge potential in the food industryAs an important component of large-scale agriculture or agricultural deep processing, the four major food industries have enormous potential!01. Leisure foodAccording to the “2016-2020 Development Opportunities Report of the Leisure Food Industry” by the China Academy of Commerce and Industry, the total sales revenue of China’s leisure food market in 2015 was 522.5 billion yuan, with a compound annual growth rate of 9.3% from 2011 to 2015. In 2015, the total sales of candy accounted for the largest share of China’s leisure food market at 24.5%, with pastries ranking second at 17.2% and nuts ranking third at 13.5%. With the development of the Chinese economy, the market demand for leisure food will continue to grow, with a predicted compound annual growth rate of 10.3% from 2016 to 2017. In 2017, the market size of leisure food will reach 634.2 billion yuan.02. Healthy and nutritious foodWith the upgrading of consumption, consumers are paying more and more attention to healthy food. At present, the market size of healthy and nutritious food in China is about 80 billion yuan, and in three years, this figure may exceed 180 billion yuan. At the same time, the potential of China’s healthy and nutritious food market is enormous, and food companies urgently need to make efforts in the field of healthy and nutritious food.03. Imported FoodAccording to the prediction of the American Food Industry Association, the sales of imported food in China will grow at a high speed of 15% every year. By 2018, China will become the largest consumer of imported food in the world. At that time, the market size of imported food in Chinese Mainland will reach 480 billion yuan, which will drive an investment boom in the imported food industry.04. Organic FoodIt is predicted that by 2025, the global organic food and beverage market is expected to reach $320.5 billion, much higher than the $77.4 billion in 2015; The revenue of China’s organic fruit and vegetable market is expected to exceed 110 billion US dollars, which will dominate the global organic food market.
