In 2015, China was the world’s second most important producer of rapeseed after Canada, with 7.59 million hectares under cultivation and a production of 14.1 million tons. It is also a major importer of rapeseed grain, as well as the premier consumer. Currently, its R&D remains mainly public. Its rapeseed seed market is slightly superior to 2.7 billion RMB (362 million €) and concerns partly hybrid varieties Nevertheless, the improvement in living standards and the strong development of animal production in China has brought with it an increasing dependence on oil and protein crops, notably rapeseed but especially soybean and palm.
Résumé
En 2015, la Chine était le second producteur mondial de colza après le Canada, avec une surface de 7,59 millions d’hectares et une production de 14,1 million tons. C’est également un importateur majeur de colza grain et le premier consommateur. Aujourd’hui, sa R&D reste essentiellement publique. Son marché de semences de colza dépasse 2,7 milliards de RMB (362 million €) et concerne pour partie des variétés hybrides. Néanmoins, l’amélioration du niveau de vie en Chine et l’essor spectaculaire de ses productions animales s’accompagnent d’une dépendance croissante du pays en oléo-protéagineux, notamment en soja et huile de palme et plus qu’en colza.
