**Prepared by:**

Adam Branson and Casey E. Bean

**Report Highlights:**

China\'s planting seed imports rose 17 percent by value to \$84.3
million in MY03/04, while exports climbed 7 percent to \$49.5 million.
China's imports from the U.S. equaled \$30 million while exports totaled
\$9 million. The U.S.'s competitive strength rests with grass seeds for
turf, forage, and reclamation use, along with strong support from herb,
vegetable, and sunflower seeds. China continues exporting large volumes
of rice and vegetable seeds.

# Executive Summary

This report provides the trade component of the upcoming (December 2004)
GAIN report on China's Planting Seed sector. The most recent annual
report discussing production, marketing, and other related seed sector
information is GAIN CH3133. The most recent seed trade report is GAIN
CH3126.

Post forecasts imports will continue growing next year as China's demand
for grass and vegetable seed remains strong. Exports should grow, as
well, as China remains a low cost seed supplier for a variety of rice,
vegetable, and other forage planting seeds. Increasing exports for a
number of grain and oilseed planting seeds could develop if market
conditions are right in developing countries and if China's government,
scientists, and traders continue promoting hybrid rice seeds.

Planting seed imports increased 17 percent by value during the July 2003
to June 2004 marketing year (MY) to reach \$84.3 million. Available data
indicates import volumes, too, grew higher over the previous year
increasing from 24.5 KMT to 26.4 KMT. Export volumes and sales increased
11 percent and 7 percent respectively to 23.1 KMT and \$49.5 million.
The greatest growth of imports and exports was in specialty seeds for
herbaceous, fruit, and vegetable use.

Imported seeds primarily enter the country in northern ports of Tianjin
(31%) and Beijing (23%), but there are numerous seed buyers and traders
throughout the country who are either importing seeds directly or
contracting imports through larger trading enterprises. Exported rice
planting seeds primarily exit the country from the inland port of
Kunming (23%), but other seeds for "major" crops and vegetables
primarily exit from northern ports like Tianjin, Beijing, Dalian,
Shanghai, and Qingdao.

The United States, not including fruit and melon seeds or seedlings,
accounts for the largest share by volume and value of China's imports;
amounting to 51 percent by volume and 36 percent by value of MY03/04
planting seed imports. Japan is the next major seed supplier providing a
large number of vegetable seeds to the country that are likely used for
growing produce that is in turn exported back to Japan. The Netherlands,
too, is a large vegetable seed supplier for the country. Denmark,
Australia, and Canada compete with the U.S. for China's import needs for
turf, forage, and reclamation grasses.

The United States is China's second greatest market for planting seeds
at nearly \$9 million. The largest destination is Vietnam (\$12
million), which imports large quantities of rice seed. Vegetable seed
exports to South Korea and the United States remain strong and should
grow. Industry sources indicate that many of the vegetable planting seed
exports derive from partnerships or joint-venture enterprises that
contract seed production in the country relying on China's advantageous
low-labor costs.

Large data gaps remain between Chinese Customs data and other nations
recorded trade data. An example would be with MY03/04 Chinese cotton
seed exports for planting (HS120720) where China reports exports of 209
MT valued at \$517 thousand to the U.S. while U.S. Customs records the
imports from China at 1143 MT valued at \$950 thousand. Timing of trade
(e.g. leaving China in June of MY02/03 and entering the U.S. in July of
MY03/04) and recording of prices (e.g. FOB leaving China and CIF
entering the U.S.), however, partially account for some of the data
discrepancies.
