Fifth, the development prospects of China's asparagus industry
The development of China's asparagus industry has ushered in the opportunity for development, and there is a lot of room for development. The asparagus industry is a key project for farmers to increase their income, mainly to promote planting. Under normal circumstances, the benefits of planting asparagus are still very large, and the benefits obtained by investing a part of the capital are several times that of the investment. Another feature of asparagus cultivation is that asparagus can be harvested continuously, and only once is sown, and then a second seed is carried out in 15 years. In terms of adaptability, the requirements of asparagus are relatively low, and the requirements for water and fertilizer are not particularly high, so it is relatively easy in terms of manpower and material resources invested, and the economic benefits obtained are also very large. Compared with other cash crops, the advantages of asparagus are very obvious.
In recent years, people are paying more and more attention to the health industry, asparagus, a green agricultural product with high health and nutritional value, has entered people's field of vision, the demand for asparagus has increased rapidly, and the development prospects of the asparagus market are very optimistic.

While the planting area continues to expand, the quality of asparagus has also made great progress, and more and more consumers love it to meet the needs of consumers.
The technical research on asparagus planting and cultivation has also been deepened, and China has also set up a special planting demonstration area, which can promote these planting and cultivation technologies to other regions, and other regions can learn advanced technologies and apply them to asparagus cultivation and planting, which has promoted the sustainable and healthy development of the asparagus industry. The planting area continues to expand, the quality is also constantly improving, and the competitive advantage of China's asparagus industry in the international asparagus market is becoming more and more obvious. The development of China's asparagus industry has also been valued by the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Agriculture, with the continuous development of science and technology, it can bring new development opportunities to the asparagus industry.
