Speaking of which, the canned food industry is one of the food industries that started earlier, had a good foundation and developed rapidly in China.
As a canned product mainly positioned for export, for more than 20 years, China's canned food such as tomatoes, asparagus, bamboo shoots, yellow peaches, oranges and a number of canned varieties of processing exports have always maintained the first place in the global market.
From 1995 to 2015, it can be said that the canning industry has grown the fastest in 20 years.
As a result, China has become the world's leading producer and exporter of canned food.

In 2020, the new crown virus ravaged the world, triggering a wave of food rushes.
As a chinese canned food with a long shelf life and sufficient nutrition, it has become the first choice for foreigners to hoard grain.
Data show that at the beginning of 2020, the sales of canned meat, chickpeas and tuna in the United States,
This increased by 31.8%, 25.6% and 24.9% year-on-year, respectively.

Sales of canned vegetables in Germany soared by 80% and canned fruit by 70% over the same period.

Although far from the "end of the day", I found that crooked nuts are true love cans.
Once something comes up, in addition to toilet paper, the first thing crooked nuts think of is -
can.
However, during the boom in the rush to buy canned food abroad,
The domestic market for canned food is unusually bleak, and even a little bleak...
Last year, a foreign media survey report on China's epidemic consumption showed that
During the lockdown period, Chinese are more inclined to hoard rice and convenience foods.
More fresh vegetables and fruits will also be purchased to ensure the health of the body.
40% of respondents increased their purchase of fresh vegetables, while 37% increased their consumption of fresh fruits.
However, only 23% of respondents said they would buy some canned food purchases increased,
Another 22 percent of respondents said they would not buy canned food.
In fact, this is mainly due to the popularity of fresh food by Chinese consumers, occupying nearly half of the market share.
Coupled with the various misunderstandings caused by consumers' subconscious labeling of cans as "not fresh", "junk food", "added preservatives" and so on,
As a result, the level of canned food consumption in the Chinese market is still very low.
According to the "China Canning Industry Production and Marketing Demand and Investment Forecast Analysis Report",
Although China's canned food production ranks first in the world, Chinese consume only 1 kilogram of canned food per year.
Conversely, per capita consumption in the United States is about 90 kilograms, in the European Union at 56 kilograms and in Japan at 30 kilograms.
In addition, the prosperity of domestic online shopping, purchasing services and the rise of various "fresh vegetable delivery services" APP,
Although people's food purchases have increased, they are actually no different from daily market shopping.
Therefore, we will not buy canned food and other 'survival military style' food.
Around the end of the Qing Dynasty, canned food was introduced to China from the West, and its "foreign blood" was born with a noble aura.
And because of the convenient storage and transportation, exquisite packaging, it is highly sought after.
In 1897, Taifeng Canned Food Company was established in Shanghai.
Subsequently, canning companies such as Taikang, Merlin and Guanshengyuan rose one after another, opening the Warring States era of Chinese canning.
In the 1950s and 1960s, canned food was seen as a luxury.
But to this day, under the influence of Chinese and foreign film and television dramas,
Canned food is often classified by default as a "doomsday crisis ration" –
Most Chinese people regard canned food as the final safety bottom line of life in times of material scarcity.
Honestly, this is really a bit of a shame for cans,
Who would have thought that the advantages of long shelf life and convenient transportation would become a roadblock to its development.
So why wait until the end of the day to want to taste the canned food?
After all, you will never understand why canned yellow peach can be called a unique taste in the world without opening it.
