Abstract:

Zhejiang has a wide variety of characteristic crops, with a perennial sowing area of 133 300 hm2 and a total yield of about 600 000 t. It is the main food and economic crop in mountainous and island areas, playing an important role in ensuring food security, increasing agricultural efficiency, and increasing farmers' income. With the improvement of people's living standards, the demand for characteristic crops has increased in quantity and price, and has developed into a sunrise industry. The development of characteristic crops towards fresh food and processing is a clear characteristic of the industry, characterized by high-quality, efficient, multi cropping cultivation, and miniaturization of fresh food. Promoting excellent varieties and practical technologies, implementing standardized production, and increasing the promotion and marketing of characteristic crop products are the future development directions.
