| In recent years, the self-sufficiency rate of edible oil in China has always been lower than 40%, the degree of dependence on foreign countries is too high, the problem of national edible oil security is serious. The restriction of red line of cultivated land and the unique advantages of woody oilseed make the development of woody oilseed become the optimal solution to improve the self-sufficiency rate of edible oil in China. Taking Camellia oleifera, walnut and olive as examples, using macro data, the development status of woody oilseed in China was analyzed from both supply and demand sides, the proportion of edible woody oil in the total edible vegetable oil was further quantified, and the reasons for the mismatch between supply and demand of woody oil were analyzed. The results showed that by 2017, the proportion of the total supply of woody oil in the total supply of edible vegetable oil in China was 4.02%, and the proportion of total demand in the total consumption of edible vegetable oil was only 3.00%. Moreover, there were problems in the development of woody oilseed industry, such as low proportion of supply and demand, space mismatch, emphasis on construction rather than management, lack of good seeds and low yield, high effect of traditional thinking, unreasonable consumption structure, inefficient competition among enterprises and weak product construction. In order to promote the development of woody oilseed industry in China, enhance the proportion of local woody oil in edible oil, and guarantee national food and oil safety, some suggestions were put forward, such as scientific development of woody oilseed, active guidance of residents’ consumption, strengthening of scientific and technological support, fine management, strengthening communication and cooperation between enterprises, and broadening product deep processing chain. |
