Chinese organic food gains market share in Europe

Chinsese organic products are dominating the European market, reports The China Daily. China grows 300,000 hectares of organic farm products. That is 11 percent of the total in the world. China has become the largest supplier of organic bean and seeds to the European market. Chinese organic pumpkinseed, sunflower seed, kidney bean and black bean dominate the market there. It is reported that one third of organic soybean in European food producers is from China. The concern of the GM soybean from the North America transfers their interest to Chinese suppliers. A number of institutions offer certification service for organic food in China, while the government also provides support for the growing of organic products.
