**Report Highlights:**

During MY 2003 China\'s planting seed imports gained 6 percent by volume
and 8 percent by value to 25,794 metric tons (MT) and \$71.769 million
while exports remained flat at 20,731 MT and \$46.293 million. MY 2004
seed imports should continue increasing by both volume and value. The
leading US market share increased to 38 percent of total import volume
and 34 percent of total import value. The United States faces
competition in China from Australia, Canada, Argentina, Denmark, and the
Netherlands. China challenges the United States in third country markets
for fruit, vegetable, and forage seeds.

# Executive Trade Summary

China Customs data indicates planting seed imports increased 6 percent
by volume and 8 percent by value during the July 2002 to June 2003
marketing year to 25,794 metric tons (MT) and \$71.8 million. Exports
declined over 3 percent by volume but rose near 0.3 percent by value to
20,731 MT and \$46.3 million. Marketing year 2003/2004 imports should
continue increasing by both volume and value while exports remain flat
or improve only slightly. Planting seed import increases are partially
attributed to changing grower practices that call for increased planting
of higher value goods like vegetables and the return of many grain
producing lands to pastures or grasslands. Predictions for flat or
slight increases in exports are attributed to China's lack of
high-quality seed suitable for other markets. However, China remains a
low cost seed supplier for many planting seed sectors.

The United States supplied 38 percent by volume and over 34 percent by
value of China's planting seed imports during the 2002/2003 marketing
year. This was an improvement from the 2001/2002 marketing year where
the US market share accounted for 30 percent by volume and value of
China's seed imports. Much of the US share of China's planting seed
imports are due to efforts by the US grass seed industry to supply good
quality turf, reclamation, and forage grasses to China. In addition,
strong import gains were made with vegetable seeds and sunflower seeds.

Most US grain seeds are prevented access to the Chinese market due to
sanitary and photo-sanitary concerns.

Trade data gaps continue between China Customs data for imports and
exports along with what is reported by US Customs for imports and
exports. For example, China Customs export data indicates 187.609 MT
valued at US \$469,023 of cottonseed were exported to the United States
during the July 2002 to June 2003 marketing year while US Customs data
indicates 3,074.797 MT valued at US \$1.783 million of cottonseed were
imported from China during the same period. Also, China Customs data for
"Seeds, fruit and spores, of a kind used for sowing" (HS Code 1209)
indicates 9,662.332 MT valued at US \$23.648 million was imported from
the US while US Customs export data to China indicates shipments were
11,431.379 MT valued at US \$22.857 million.

Competitors to US sunflower seeds in China are Argentina and Australia.
Canada and Australia are competitors for forage seeds while competition
for turf seed comes from Denmark, Australia, Canada, and the
Netherlands. Despite Thailand being the greatest vegetable seed exporter
to China, same-climate competition comes namely from Australia, Japan,
Denmark, and New Zealand. Taiwan and Australia are the greatest US
competitors to export increases of fruit and melon seeds.

Rice seed (non-long grain) comprises the overwhelming majority of
China's planting seed exports to Vietnam while vegetable and fruit seeds
go to South Korea, Japan, and the Netherlands. China has also increased
its forage grass seed exports to Japan and remains a consistent provider
of forage plant seed to South Korea and Japan. China cottonseed exports
surged over the last year to Israel and the United States. Flooding in
China's key cottonseed production bases during the fall of 2003 should
lower production and could decrease exports during MY 2004.

The Chinese port of Tianjin in North China receives the single greatest
volume of planting seed imports. Trade sources indicate that much of the
imported seed arriving in Tianjin is of cool season turf and forage
grass seed and vegetable seed varieties. The port of Kunming in South
China bordering Vietnam provides the greatest volume of China's planting
seed exports; namely rice seed.
