In march 2025, general secretary xi said during the yunnan expedition that yunnanFlower industryThere's a lot ahead of youWhole chainThis “bright industry” becomes a “happy industry” for the benefit of the population。
Yunnan is committed to a high level of integration and systematic planning, focusing on the three main areas of farming, planting and marketing, bringing together the diverse forces of research institutes, enterprises, cooperatives and flower farmers to accelerate the construction of new patterns of modern flower industry development。
Yunnan builds on the resource endowment and industry base of the highland flowers, building on crop renewal, systematic promotion of conservation of seed resources, breeding technologies, and the effectiveness of crop conversion, building a whole chain, localization, and intelligent flower development system, and promoting autonomous and manageable chinese core flowers as an important support for industrial transformation。
According to statistics, the commercialization of yunnan has promoted more than 100 new varieties of home-grown flowers and increased market ownership of autonomous flowers to over 15 per cent; the rate of subsistence of fresh cut flowers is 80 per cent, and the rate of self-sufficiency of high-quality seedlings is 90 per cent for the monthly seasons, pyres, fracks and stars。
Yunnan promotes the upgrading of growing facilities and the promotion of modern agricultural technologies, and promotes the upgrading of flower cultivation to a modern form of cultivation that is scaled up, standardized and intensive, thus making the flower industry a happy industry for steady employment, growth and rural growth。
In yunnan province, the production of fresh cut flowers and pellets has been substantially completed, with a 100 per cent installation rate。
Yunnan takes advantage of the development of the whole-industry chain of flowers and promotes the transformation of the clouds from primary produce to creative and literary products through such initiatives as product innovation, business integration, trade innovation, naval escorts and so forth, transforming beautiful resources into economic growth and happiness。
In 2025, 15,476 million flowers were traded at the kunming doonan international garden of flower industries, with a turnover of $13,484 million, which has been the country's number one for more than 20 years。
The fertile land of the highlands breeds new machines and the fragrance of the south of the clouds. Yunnan is located at low latitudes and at high altitudes, with mountains and mountains running across the country, and climate stereos, known as “the garden of the world” as “the plant kingdom”. There is ample light, high day and night temperature, abundant rainfall and diverse soil types, one of the most recognized areas for flower production and one of the main distribution centres。
In march 2025, during his visit to yunnan, the secretary-general of xi stated that the yunnan flower industry had a wide range of prospects and that it was necessary to focus on the whole industry chain, with a view to making this “beauty industry” a “happy industry” for the benefit of the population, through intensive farming at the farm, planting and market levels。
This eagerness has given direction and strong impetus to the high-quality development of the yunnan flower industry. The yunnan flower industry has been able to release further development energy, thanks to such instruments as the national forest and grass office, the ministry of agriculture and rural affairs, the guidance on the promotion of quality development in the flower industry, and the combined efforts of the central financial guarantee system, the specialized support for agricultural research and the support for cross-border trade。
In september 2025, the yunnan department of commerce introduced a number of policy measures to support the export and import of flowers, which provide institutional support for the export of flowers; in october 2025, the standard rules for the evaluation of crops production bases were issued to strengthen the quality control of the entire process of upgrading the green production of flowers; in february 2026 yunnan included the “accelerating the construction of the world's first-class flower cutting industry” as an important element in the government's 2026 report; and in march 2026, the yunnan province accelerated the development of new varieties of autonomous intellectual property rights for flowers was published, which injected new dynamic energy into the innovative capacity of flowering plants throughout the province. Yunnan insisted on high-level integration, systematic planning, focused on the three main areas of growth, cultivation, markets, and integrated scientific research institutes, enterprises, cooperatives, farmers, etc., to accelerate the construction of new patterns of modern flower industry development。
The growing yunnan flower industry is becoming an outstanding business card for highland niche agriculture. By the end of 2025, yunnan province had grown over 2 million acres, in 2025, fresh cut flowers had produced 22. 15 billion, and the entire industrial chain of flowers had exceeded $140 billion, with exports amounting to nearly $200 million, the first in seven years in a row. By the end of june 2026, yunnan had cumulatively applied for nearly 2,200 new varieties of flowers, over 900 new varieties authorized by the ministry of agriculture and rural development and the national forest and grass office, all of which had the highest number of applications and authorizations in the country。
Seven of every 10 cut flowers in the national market come from yunnan. A cloud carries with it the vitality of the land of the clouds, and with it the fruits of the prosperity of the people, a chapter of the time of the rich people of yunnan。

Plantation end: build china core
The flower industry appears to be a competition for “a flower” and is essentially a competition for “a grain” — a comparison of the combined power of seed resources, breeding techniques and variety rights。
Yunnan builds on the resource endowment and industry base of the highland flowers, building on crop renewal, systematic promotion of conservation of seed resources, breeding technologies, and the effectiveness of crop conversion, building a whole chain, localization, and intelligent flower development system, and promoting autonomous and manageable chinese core flowers as an important support for industrial transformation。
- stereotyping, thick cloud-breathing resources。
Quality resources are the basis for breeding innovation. In response to past fragmentation and systematic conservation of flower seed resources, yunnan has included the collection, protection and identification of flower seed quality resources as the basis for the development of the farming industry。
Provincial scientific platforms led the development of large platforms for the conservation of seed resources. The yunnan academy of agricultural sciences has continued its conservation and innovative use of seed resources around priority flowers such as the monthly season, lilies, and has built a high-level stock of flowers, with resources at the national top。
The regional layouts are multi-discretionary and weave a network for the protection of the quality of seed resources. Yunnan has built seven provincial flower seedlings in kunming, yu creek, chu hsiung and the red river to provide resources for the validation and evaluation of flowers and for innovative use. The large and well-specified flower “living gene pool” provides a solid resource base for the subsequent selection of new varieties, for improved quality and for upgrading indigenous varieties。
Broaden the channels of international collaboration and bring together to preserve the global diversity of flowers. The yunnan province has strengthened its political collaboration to promote the development of indigenousized research and development in yunnan by a number of foreign-owned breeders, and has established a collaborative seed exchange route. The international centre for flower technology innovation, established by the government of kunming city in collaboration with the yunnan academy of agricultural sciences, collects more than 1,000 resources for the preservation of the best varieties from within and outside the country during the cut-off season。
- auto-planting, tightening the initiative to develop the flower industry。
For a long time, some of the dominant core species of fresh cut flowers have become more dependent abroad, and businesses and farmers have been subject to constraints in terms of their use, market pricing and so forth. In order to break the monopoly on overseas varieties, yunnan has integrated scientific research platforms, talent teams, and policy funding efforts, promoted the upgrading of flower breeding technologies and accelerated the exploration of autonomous agricultural breeding paths in the highlands。
Yunnan relies on the "hin feng talent support program" to foster high-level talent in the flower industry and to build a "national leader + provincial cadre + youth talent" research ladder; to connect research institutes, colleges and enterprises; and to promote mechanisms such as "generic mentors" “collèges” in the main flower-producing areas, such as jinning, with a view to developing combat breeding skills。
The head of the rural and agricultural department of yunnan province explained that the provincial departments concerned in yunnan have integrated special science and technology and rural-related funding, continuously increased research and development inputs through technical and scientific project support and grants for new varieties, and provided special financial support for high-quality and ground-breaking new varieties of flowers, so that they can be brought together and financed in a way that will provide solid support for their autonomous breeding。
At the beginning of 2026, the euphemisms of the “beauty” season, the “shows” season and the pink spirit-acting “little dragon” season went out of the country. These “china winds” seasons, which have been developed by the institute of flowers of the yunnan academy of agricultural sciences on its own, have been marked by the diversity of flowers, their scent and their length。
"the goal of the breeding team is to nurture autonomous intellectual property rights." the chinese wind season holds the initiative to develop the flower industry in its own hands.” cai ying fei, a researcher at the flower institute of the yunnan academy of agricultural sciences, said that the team had now produced more than 1,000 new monthly independent intellectual property systems, breaking our dependence on imported monthly varieties。
Not only in the monthly season, yunnan has built “china cores” for an increasing number of flowers by continually intensifying the innovation of the flower farming industry and breaking the boundaries of breeding technology. The share of home-grown varieties in the domestic market for the main flowers such as lilies, oranges, carnations, etc. Has continued to rise, and new varieties of national flowers such as butterflies, embroidery balls, and chrysanthemums are on the market. According to statistics, the flower research institute of the yunnan academy of agricultural sciences has officially registered 21 alpine varieties at the national forest grass office, creating 38 fine strains of orange infarction, and successfully nurturing and declaring 113 new varieties of korea。
The director of the yunnan academy of agricultural sciences, wang jihua, based on such platforms as the national centre for research on horticultural engineering and research, and the strategic laboratory for the cultivation of flowers in yunnan province, has promoted the deep integration of traditional hybrid and molecular breeding, genomics and ai-aided breeding, accelerating the upgrading of flower breeding to precision breeding and intelligent breeding。
• to develop consistency and improve the efficacy of the conversion of flowers。
The ultimate value of breeding innovation lies in its scaling-up, industrialization and real benefits for flower farmers and enabling industries. Yunnan is committed to “developing combinations for promoting research” and to promoting new varieties through the entire chain, from laboratories to planting sites and trading markets, so that autonomous good species can take root and produce benefits。

In the greenhouse of the national plantation of the riijiang modern flower industrial park, more than 110 strains, each with a coloured, resistant and sea-appropriate information card, have been lined up for the autonomous season. After many rounds of climate domestication, the park successfully completed the registration of 11 new species in the “lijiang time” season, creating its own flower brand matrix, which belongs exclusively to the snow-producing areas。
This is a vivid picture of the project “five years of 100” launched by the university of agriculture, which has been set up at a cost of $9. 8 million. The park collaborates with research institutes such as the kunming plant institute of the chinese academy of sciences and the yunnan academy of agricultural sciences to bring the scientific results of the country's flower varieties to industrial development。
According to statistics, the commercialization of yunnan has promoted more than 100 new varieties of home-grown flowers and increased market ownership of autonomous flowers to over 15 per cent; the rate of subsistence of fresh cut flowers is 80 per cent, and the rate of self-sufficiency of high-quality seedlings is 90 per cent for the monthly seasons, pyres, fracks and stars。
“now we can buy home-grown seedlings that are more affordable and suitable to the local climate.” zhang kim lin, a senior florist, said that, with the continued spread of autonomous seeds, more and more flower farmers and cooperatives are taking the initiative to grow their seedlings locally, both reducing the cost of planting and escaping the constraints of overseas sources。

Yunnan promotes the upgrading of growing facilities and the promotion of modern agricultural technologies, and promotes the upgrading of flower cultivation to a modern form of cultivation that is scaled up, standardized and intensive, thus making the flower industry a happy industry for steady employment, growth and rural growth。
— upgrade of facilities, wiping of clouds。
In order to complement the planting of short panels, yunnan has been upgrading its flower-growing facilities over time, making great efforts to build modern planting carriers such as smart greenhouses, standardized sheds, hardware equipment such as water fertilizer integration, environmental self-regulation, etc., to reduce seasonal weather disturbances and to transform the highland climate advantage into an industrial success in stabilizing supply throughout the year。
At the foot of the jade dragon mountain, the smart greenhouses of the lijiang modern flower industrial park, the roses, horse holly, etc., are red, the water fertilizer integration equipment is finely delivered nutrients, and the temperature control, light and humidity systems automatically regulate parameters. This garden, equipped with a fully automated environmental control system, is capable of mastering the flowering period and achieving steady production of flowers throughout the year。
“the quality of fresh cut flowers produced has been steadily improving with modern agricultural facilities such as fully automated irrigation and intelligent sunscreening.” according to zhang li fai, the head of industrial planning at the park, supported by hardware facilities, the production rate for cut flowers has stabilized at more than 90 per cent, with 40 million roses cut each year and 2 million coloured horse hollers. The products are not only sold throughout the country, but also exported to countries such as russia and viet nam, which have gradually developed a high-end cut flowers brand called "lijiang dsal flower"。
Across the province, the main flower-producing areas, such as excursion and jinning, are being upgraded in parallel with the agricultural upgrading of the facilities, with the construction of standardized sheds and smart farms. Local integration of farm-related funds, the introduction of greenhouse construction subsidies and support policies for agricultural machinery, the promotion of enterprises and cooperatives, and the continuous upgrading of the facilities of the flower industry。
To date, fresh cut flowers and pellets have been essentially made available throughout yunnan province, with a 100 per cent installation rate. Of these, 50. 1 per cent of the country's production of fresh cut flowers, using standardized shack facilities, is at the top of the country, and 30,000 acres of flowers are cultivated using smart technology and recycling water。
• technology empowerment to enhance industry。
On the basis of specialized industrial parks and scalable plantations, yunnan has embedded science, technology and innovation in the management of flower cultivation and the ranking of harvests, promoting a shift in flower production from “experience-based” to “standardized” in an effort to improve overall industrial competitiveness through regulatory control。
More than 80 acres of lactose medicine in the horticulture gardening grounds of the springs of the maroon district of the city of chaiyang are awaiting release. The director of the base, lee yunbao, who has been growing flowers for more than 20 years, is a witness to the technology-enabled flower industry。
“traditional flowering practices, which vary in quality, make market recognition difficult. Today, cultivation and reprocessing technologies are increasing, with standardized, scalding systems for the production of flowers, which are of stable quality and yield increasing。
For example, the base is working at the back of the pick-up, moving the pick-up to the freezer, putting it to sleep through precise cooling, and then adjusting its output flexibly to market demand for a time of awakening in accordance with the requirements of the order. “accurate low-temperature hibernation techniques explored by the base allow for the supply of anti-seasonal and year-round production of pelicans.” lee yunbao says。
According to lee yunbao, the pharmacists planted at the base are full, ranging from 18 to 20 centimetres in diameter after full opening and are popular with consumers. In 2025, al-qa`idah cuttings amounted to 300,000, with annual production exceeding $7 million。
• associated farmers, sharing development dividends。
A flower blooms, carrying the livelihood and expectations of thousands of families. Yunnan insists on bringing allied farmers through the entire industrial chain, allowing them to achieve steady employment and sustained growth in industrial upgrading, and watering them with a flower for a better life。
The villagers of the village of paoji, ancient city of liang city, and the moon were the first workers of the lijiang modern flower estate. Previously, she had been working part-time and her income was unstable. Today, she chairs the team in the rose room and manages more than 40 workers. “the rest of the season earns $4,000 per month, while the season has a performance subsidy of $7,000 a month, and income stability takes care of the family.” and the moon smiles。
At the shan ma's industrial park in the town of sharon, cheung yun county, dalian autonomous region, flower farmers travel through the smart temperature-control sheds to sort out the different colours of the chrysanthemum. This flower base, built with collaborative funds and investments by shanghai firms, not only serves as a model window for the yunnan highland specialty agriculture, but also serves as a “happiness shed” for increased revenue for local farmers. The nearby villagers can not only work at the base, but also collect rent through the transfer of land and participate in farmers ' cooperatives。
“we have allowed farmers and the surrounding population to share the dividends of flower industry development in the form of land-flowing rents, wage earners, etc.”. The head of the base, chen zhioxin, explained that the base currently produces more than 50 million yuan a year, leading to steady employment of more than 300 people per year and seasonal employment of more than 500 people per year for the surrounding population。

According to the yunnan department of agriculture and rural affairs, 190,000 flower farmers have been raised in yunnan province, with an annual income of $6. 8 billion and an average annual income of $36,000. The flower industry has employed 480,000 people throughout the province, served 350,000 flower shops and joined more than 5. 3 million flower workers throughout the country。
“the flower industry has grown in size and has been accompanied by the creation of a multi-purpose, multi-farm farming system, so that the industrial dividend falls on the farmers.” wang si-sai, deputy director of the rural agricultural department of yunnan province, said that a flower from the highlands was truly a “happiness flower” that led to the overall revitalization of the countryside and increased prosperity for all communities。
Market end: bridge in circulation
Yunnan takes advantage of the development of the whole-industry chain of flowers and promotes the transformation of the clouds from primary produce to creative and literary products through such initiatives as product innovation, business integration, trade innovation, naval escorts and so forth, transforming beautiful resources into economic growth and happiness。
- innovative supply, activating consumption of new dynamics。
Yunnan continues to innovate in its deep-tilled flower products, building product systems that match current consumption needs, and constantly taping the new potential of flower consumption。
Build product systems that match consumption demand. Reijiang, located on the street of kasnan, in the ancient city of lijiang city, is destined for red agricultural technology ltd., which has a variety of products such as pellets, cut flowers and waxed seed balls. In the sheds, the layering of red flowers with red, platinum and pink roses; in the exhibition hall, waxed reds became the most representative category of innovation and were popular in the market。
“the wax covers the main species with light maintenance and long cycles, without fertilizing with water, suitable for natural blooming at temperature, and far beyond normal cut flowers.” the director of the company, li kikuxiang, described the innovative product as an effective way to lower the threshold for public flowering, adapt to emerging channels such as live broadcasting by distributors, supermarkets, and the company's companion gift, and break down the development bottlenecks of traditional flower transport, conservation and limited landscapes, and expand the market for highland features。

Release the multiple values of flowers. Light conservation of horticultural products, in-life peanut arts, flowers, and the surroundings of zhuang. Yunnan actively develops flower derivatives around consumer hotspots, promotes flower viewing functions, expands to a variety of forms, such as home decorations and specialty foods, and continuously unleashes the consumption potential of the highland flower industry。
Activating the country's “face economy”. At present, the spillover effects of clouds are gradually irradiating the entire country, and in recent years good seedlings have continued to be exported out of the country, as well as projects for the construction of flowers and flowers. The flowering institute of the yunnan academy of agricultural sciences has been autonomously cultivated in the districts of takayama, sichuan, xinjiang and guangxi, and has supported the construction of gardens and gardens in both rural and urban areas. In combination with their own resource endowments, local communities absorb the variety and technological results of cloud-absorbed flowers, develop local patterns of flower-related business and activate the “beneficial economy”。
– a flower-brokering approach that generates new consumption patterns。
Yunnan has promoted the integration of the flower+ letter brigade, exploring the model of the flower+ development, promoting the expansion of the flower industry from planting sales to new business practices such as leisure vacations and the tourism economy, and creating new scenarios for diversified consumption。
At the foot of the yulong snow mountain, lijiang listens to the valley of flowers, far away from the mountains of snow, and close to it is a flower plumbing, a layer of piled-up sea floor, and draws up a poem scroll that belongs exclusively to lijiang. It also creates a highly recognized “snow mountain sea” literary brigade。
The scenery is located in the town of pesha, the autonomous district of the yulongnassi ethnic group in lijiang city. It is located close to the two central areas of lijiangugu city and yulongshan. The master plan, which covers approximately 300 acres, is based on the viewing of flowers in the highlands。
"when you get here, it's as if you've fallen into the ocean." liu dong and yen ho from liaoning jinzhou have come to listen to hanaiya's wedding photos. Far away, the mountain of snow is standing, and the sea of flowers, blue skies and snow peaks are painted to bear witness to the good memories of both。
With the warm and bright natural advantage of the tori river, the flower valleys have been set up in four seasons, each season planting more than 100 species of flowers, such as tulips and lavenders, to become a hot spot for wedding photography。
According to liao wei, the head of the scenery, in 2025 the total number of visitors to the florival area was 400,000, and more than 30,000 wedding photographs were taken, with a combined sales of more than $20 million throughout the year。
— optimizing transactions and unleashing the power of circulation。
Circulation time limits are the “lifeline” of the fresh cut flowers industry, and trade efficiency directly determines the competitiveness of the industry's market. Yunnan has continued to improve its flower trading system, based on standardized, digitalized and scalable trading patterns, to further regulate market order, reduce the cost of circulation and increase the efficiency of transactions, and to position itself at the centre of the country's flower trade。
Entered the auction hall at the kunming international flowers exchange, with more than 900 seats open. The price of more than 40 products such as roses, lilies, orange infarction and more than 1,500 cut flowers is rolling in real time on the electronic screen。
As a “price barometer” and “market windbender” for the national flower industry, the kunming international flower academia trading centre and the kunming doo nan flower trading market, among others, set up a digital trading platform to achieve a transparent and well-regulated modern flower auction trading system through real-time dissemination of core information on the variety, grade, price and so forth。
Following the auction, the flowers entered the packing chain, relying on a mature market system and a well-established cold chain logistics network, and the flowers were sent overnight to major cities and overseas regions throughout the country, resulting in a significant increase in the efficiency of their distribution throughout the province。
In 2025, 15,476 million flowers were traded at the kunming doonan international garden of flower industries, with a turnover of $13,484 million, which has been the country's number one for more than 20 years。
The florist competes for a variety of flowers (showed on july 9, 2025) at the kunming donam international flowers marketing centre in yunnan, china
— policy escorts, clear access to the sea。
The journey to the sea is a necessary route to the world's best. Yunnan has continued to expand the reach and influence of overseas markets through innovative regulatory models and policy empowerment, bringing the fragrance of seven clouds to the sea。
Specialized policies allow for the sustained release of foreign trade dynamism. The yunnan business system has introduced two series of policies to promote steady growth in foreign trade, special support policies for flowers, precision support for the “one area one initiative” and a number of policy measures by the yunnan commerce department to support the export and import of flowers to provide institutional support for the export of flowers。
The yunnan chamber of commerce, which is primarily responsible for comrades, says yunnan has set up a green channel for flower exports, set up an international marketing network, aligns with international rules to improve the market, harmonizes provincial flower rating standards, enhances the image of the cloud brand, directs transactions away from pricing to quality, and drives industries from stock games to incremental expansion。
Innovative regulatory models have significantly improved customs clearance efficiency. In response to the perishable, short-duration, and high standards of customs clearance, kunming customs has innovatively introduced a new model of regulation of " batch inspection (quarantine) + remote video inspection" that integrates standardized production enterprises with the same quality sources, harmonizes standards, and reduces the length of customs clearance from "day-in-day" to "minute-in-minute" and significantly reduces flower retention。
With this series of initiatives, the overseas markets of the clouds have continued to expand and now cover 64 countries and territories, deep-seated in emerging blue sea markets such as russia, central asia and south-east asia. According to kunming customs, the value of yunnan's cut flowers in 2025 was rmb 1. 22 billion, an increase of 60. 5 per cent from year to year. The size of exports was the first in seven years in a row; exports in the first half of 2026 amounted to rmb 790 million, representing more than 60 per cent of the country's market share, with cloud brands officially entering the mainstream global flower market。
Yunnan provincial commission, who is responsible for comrades, says yunnan will keep in mind the need for a continuous deep-growing flower niche industry, with higher standards and more effective initiatives to optimize the entire chain, integrate the full elements and upgrade the whole spectrum, to do its best for a long time, to continue to enhance the core competitiveness of the clouds, to build a world-class flower industry, and to make the beautiful industry truly a solid force for building on and expanding povertyRural revitalizationThe main industries, the happiness industry, the stamp industry have worked hard to write a new chapter in the development of quality modern agriculture that features the new era。
