  • Its rapeseed seed market is slightly superior to 2.7 billion RMB (362 million ) and concerns partly hybrid varieties Nevertheless, the improvement in living standards and the strong development of animal production in China has brought with it an increasing dependence on oil and protein crops, notably rapeseed but especially soybean and palm.
  • Which country produces the most rapeseed?
  • In 2015, China was the world’s second most important producer of rapeseed after Canada, with 7.59 million hectares under cultivation and a production of 14.1 million tons. It is also a major importer of rapeseed grain, as well as the premier consumer. Currently, its R&D remains mainly public.
  • Where did rapeseed come from?
  • Standard rapeseed ( B. napus) was introduced into China from Japan only in the early 1930s (Liu, 1985) and European varieties were introduced in 1941 from United Kingdom (Fang and Chang, 2007 ). It was first experimented with on a production scale in Sichuan, in 1953.
