TIANJIN, Oct. 21 (Xinhua) — The recently concluded 22nd China International Agricultural Fair in Tianjin, north China, fully demonstrated the changes in China's agricultural export strategy.
Xiao Bo, president of Xinfeng County Zhengda Agricultural Development Co., Ltd., invited visitors to taste peeled and sliced navel oranges, displaying a variety of deep-processed products including navel wine, navel tea, and dried navel orange slices.
“We have developed a series of high-value-added products based on navelines and are exporting them to Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, and the Republic of Korea, and are also planning to enter markets in countries such as Japan and the UAE,” he noted.
The move reflects a broader trend in which China's agricultural exports are evolving from raw materials to branded, finished and premium products, said Hu Bingchuan, head of the agricultural trade and policy research department at the Institute of Rural Development of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
In addition to individual products, companies such as Shaanxi Ruijie Ecological Technology Development Co. export premium apple varieties such as Ruixue in gift packaging, and their overseas sales are steadily growing.
However, the transformation of exports does not stand still and encompasses entire agricultural systems, including breeding, planting, management, and digital services.
For example, China's agricultural machinery sector saw robust growth in the first half of this year, with exports reaching $9.3 billion, up 26.5 percent from the same period last year, customs data show.
Zhang Zhanjun, Senior Manager of Hebei Region of China Yituo Group Co., Ltd. (the No. 1 tractor manufacturer), spoke about the company's technological achievements: "From the first tractor, Dongfanghong, to the smart agricultural machinery that we use to support the development of China's intelligent agriculture, Yituo has continuously achieved technological breakthroughs."
Compared with the nearly 8,000 tractors exported in 2024, Yituo plans to ship over 10,000 units of this equipment this year.
In the agricultural technology pavilion, selectively bred varieties of corn and soybeans attracted visitors with their pest resistance. Beijing Dabeinong Biotechnology Co., Ltd. has been developing the South American market since 2013. Currently, many of its soybean products have received approval for cultivation from local governments.
Digital integration accelerates this systemic reach. For example, Rural Credit Digital Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd. uses the Internet of Things, big data, and artificial intelligence to provide "hardware and software intelligence" solutions, such as a digital platform for the entire pork production chain.
“We are building a global data-driven intelligent agricultural service platform to integrate resources and export Chinese innovative solutions,” said Yu Ying, the company’s vice president.
This shift is supported by increased international cooperation, as evidenced by initiatives such as the Tianjin-Jilin-Guangdong cooperation proposal unveiled at the fair, which aims to deepen regional coordination in agriculture.
“The application scenarios and added value creation in the agricultural products sector that are going global will undoubtedly exceed our imagination,” Hu Bingchuan concluded. -0-
