By: CCM International Limited. In order to figure out the main market situation of bitter gourd seed, CCM International invites an industry insider- Meng Lei to talk about the bitter gourd seed market in South China. Meng Lei, who obtained his Master's degree of agronomy from South China Agricultural University, currently acts as a sales manager of Guangdong Kenong Vegetable Seed Co., Ltd. (Guangdong Kenong) which mainly operates vegetable varieties bred by Vegetable Research Institute, Guangdong Academy of Agricultural Sciences (VRI, GDAAS). CCM International: Meng Lei: Generally speaking, there are four major types of bitter gourd in South China, namely striped protuberance type (long-oil bitter gourd, 长身油瓜), granular protuberance type (pearl bitter gourd, 珍珠苦瓜), the intermediate type of the two above (intermediate type) and coniform fruit type (coniform bitter gourd, 大顶苦瓜). Long-oil bitter gourd and pearl bitter gourd are the leading types in South China, occupying a vast majority of total bitter gourd area. CCM International: Meng Lei: The eating habits of bitter gourd are different for residents in various areas. It is common that consumers in a place would prefer the special taste of a type of bitter gourd and would probably not accept other types of bitter gourd. The quality of pearl bitter gourd is generally better than that of long-oil bitter gourd and most consumers prefer to eat pearl bitter gourd which is becoming more popular in South China. CCM International: Meng Lei: The planting area of bitter gourd is not fixed, generally fluctuating with the changes of bitter gourd price and consumption habits in local areas. As far as we know, the total planting area of bitter gourd in Guangdong maintains around 20,000 ha. each year; Guangxi and Hainan would totally have 13,000 to 20,000 ha. of bitter gourd planting fields. CCM International: Meng Lei: Nearly all key vegetable counties in the three provinces or regions of South China have bitter gourd planting fields more or less. In Guangdong, bitter gourd planting is mainly concentrated in Jiangmen, Dongguan, Huizhou, Shanwei, Yufu, etc.; in Guangxi, it is mainly concentrated in Nanning, Guilin, Liuzhou, etc. Bitter gourd is widely planted in Hainan but the total planting area is relatively small and the multiple cropping index is relatively high in Hainan, compared with that in Guangdong and Guangxi. CCM International: Meng Lei: In South China, most varieties of long-oil bitter gourd are bred by VRI, GDAAS, such as the representative variety "Fenglv" (丰绿) which once held half of bitter gourd planting fields in Guangdong. As for pearl bitter gourd, various excellent varieties have been bred or introduced by a number of units such as Known-You Seed Co., Ltd. (Known-You), Shantou Jinhan Seed Co., Ltd. (Shantou Jinhan), Guangdong Provincial Improved Variety Introduce Service Corporation (GPIVISC), etc., with some representative varieties like "Black Pearl" (黑珍珠), "Cuifei" (翠妃), "Lvxiu" (绿秀), etc. The intermediate type of bitter gourd generally has a small market share in South China, only planted in some areas. Coniform bitter gourd is also mainly concentrated in some areas of South China like Jiangmen City of Guangdong Province, with some representative varieties like "Yuhe" (玉和) and "Cuilv 3" (翠绿3号). CCM International: Meng Lei: Farmers like to plant those bitter gourd varieties which can bear fruits with higher selling price in market. It is sure that the fruit prices of winter-planting and early-maturing bitter gourd varieties are generally higher than those of common varieties, and thus many farmers prefer to plant winter-planting and early-maturing bitter gourd. Moreover, the bitter gourd varieties with high yield, good appearance and nice quality are also well recognized by farmers in South China. As mentioned above, pearl bitter gourd with better quality is quite popular among farmers, compared with other bitter gourd varieties. CCM International: Meng Lei: In the market, bitter gourd seeds are sold either by weight (gram) or by grain number. However, bitter gourd seeds sold by grain number usually have better quality and higher price while bitter gourd seeds sold by weight mostly belong to medium and low grades. Overall, high-grade bitter gourd seeds have been coated to enhance planting performance and improve commodity value before selling in the market.
