西式健康食品走红,中国有机农业蓬勃发展

China has also boosted imports and domestic production of other foods associated with healthy Western lifestyles. Avocados and blueberries have surged in popularity while becoming far more affordable than they were a decade ago. The southwestern province of Yunnan has become a major centre for producing both crops. China’s blueberry harvest is now the largest in the world, making the once-expensive fruit accessible to many more consumers.

Food is also being produced in different ways. Organic products are rising in popularity. By 2024, China’s organic farming area had doubled compared with a decade earlier. Organic sales more than tripled over the same period, reaching $16.7bn.

中国还加大了与西方健康生活方式相关的其他食品的进口力度，并提升了这类食品的国内产量。牛油果和蓝莓的人气暴涨，如今的价格也比十年前亲民了许多。中国西南省份云南已经成为这两种作物的核心主产区。目前中国蓝莓产量位居全球第一，让这种曾经价格高昂的水果走进了更多普通消费者的生活。

食品的生产模式也在发生转变。有机农产品越来越受欢迎。截至2024年，中国有机农业种植面积较十年前翻了一番；同期有机产品销售额增长两倍以上，达到167亿美元。
