Analysis of current situation of Chinese pepper export trade 4

三、China's pepper export trade problems
(1) Great competitive pressure
Chinese pepper export is facing the fierce market competition pressure. With the opening up of the global market and the intensification of competition, many countries have also begun to increase the export of chili peppers, making the supply of chili peppers in the market increased significantly. At the same time, pepper products from different countries and regions have their own characteristics and advantages, forming a diversified and competitive market environment. China's main competitors include India, Mexico, Vietnam and other pepper exporters. India is one of the world's largest pepper exporting countries, and its rich planting resources and low-cost advantages make it a strong rival to China's pepper exports. Mexico has strong competitiveness in chili variety diversification and quality, and its chili products are exported to the United States and other countries and regions. Vietnam also has a certain competitiveness in the international market due to the uniqueness of its pepper varieties and the stability of its quality.

(2) Single export and lack of processing technology
Despite the sheer variety of chili peppers available in China, the Dried Chilli is still the main export item in export markets. China's chili export products are concentrated on dried chili, and the trade volume of dried chili continues to rise, accounting for 80% of the total export trade volume of mechanical and electrical products, indicating that China's research and development of such products is relatively successful and has export comparative advantages. The export volume of new pepper is small, and the proportion of the total export volume of pepper is declining, so it does not have the comparative advantage of export. This fully shows that the product structure of China's foreign export trade is still relatively simple, and the export competitiveness of fresh pepper is still very limited. This kind of single export form is easy to make China's pepper export market affected by competition from other countries. In addition, the quality of Dried Peppers is more susceptible to environmental impacts than fresh peppers, and the storage and transportation conditions are relatively harsh. Therefore, if China's pepper export can develop more types and varieties, strengthen product structure adjustment, improve product added value and technical content, it will help improve the competitiveness of China's pepper export industry. Looking at the entire international market, China's processing technology level is not advanced enough, mostly in the form of dried Chili pepper, Paprika and other exports, and the development and processing degree of Chili Sauce, chili vinegar and other products is low lack of diversification, can not effectively meet the market demand for chili products.
