    On April 1 this year, Japan began to implement the new " Seedling Law
    .
    " (Japan amending the law prohibits fruit and vegetable seedlings leave the country, brought by the "new breed" not work) April 9, the Japanese Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Ministry announced the first batch of seedlings exit ban list, which would have a name "Sunshine Rose" Grapes
    .
    But South Korea and China 's sunshine rose planting has taken shape, even far exceeding Japan
    .
     
    According to the Nikkei News Agency on August 16, the "Sunshine Rose" grape has become the main variety of South Korean fruit exports, and the export volume is about five times that of Japan
    .
    The planting area of ​​Sunshine Rose in China is more than 40 times that of Japan
    .

     
    The birth of Sunshine Rose originated from the fact that Japanese scientists grafted Muscat Alexander and Sterben grapes together, cultivating a new variety of "An Yunjin 21"
    .
    After it was paired with Bainan grapes, the sunshine rose was produced
    .
    As early as 2006, Sunshine Rose applied for intellectual property protection in Japan, but did not apply for variety registration protection overseas
    .
    According to Japan’s earlier seedling law, seeds or saplings can be taken to countries or regions that have joined the international treaties for the protection of seedlings.
    Therefore, South Korea and China have successively introduced sunshine rose varieties and began to plant them in large quantities
    .
    Among them, South Korea even surpassed Japan in terms of total grape export volume and export value, and achieved a reversal
    .
     
    Statistics show that until 2018, South Korea’s total grape exports were lower than Japan’s
    .
    Beginning in 2019, South Korea has achieved an overtake, with the export volume of grapes approaching 2,000 tons
    .
    From January to April 2021, South Korea’s grape exports totaled about 800 million yen (47 million yuan), of which about 90% came from Sunshine Rose
    .
    During the same period, Japan’s total grape exports were only 147 million yen (8.
    7 million yuan), less than one-fifth of South Korea’s
    .
     
    Around 2010, Sunshine Rose began to be planted in China, and the earliest wholesale price was only 5-6 yuan/jin
    .
    Since then, due to short supply, the wholesale price of the place of origin has risen every year, once exceeding 100 yuan per catty
    .
    Starting in 2020, the price of Sunshine Rose has plunged, and the price of popular products once dropped to more than ten yuan a catty
    .
     
    The main reason for the price diving is the rapid expansion of planting scale
    .
    (Sunshine roses are becoming popular) According to incomplete statistics from the Institute of Fruit Trees, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China's planting area will reach 800,000 mu in 2020, and it is still expanding, and it is expected to exceed 1 million mu in 2021
    .
    In 2016, the area of ​​domestic sunshine rose was only tens of thousands of mu
    .
    At the same time, the planting area of ​​Sunshine Rose in Japan is less than 3,000 acres, and that in South Korea is about 4,500 acres
    .
     
    Japan's new "Seed and Seedling Law" prohibits individuals and legal persons from taking out of Japan registered Japanese agricultural seeds and seedlings without permission
    .
    Violators will be punished with imprisonment of up to 10 years or a fine of up to 10 million yen, and a fine of up to 300 million yen if the act is a legal person
    .
    Although violations of the law will face severe penalties, according to the Nihon Keizai Shimbun, after the implementation of the new seedling law, illegally taking seedlings overseas still occurs
    .
    Once the seeds and saplings flow out of Japan, tracking becomes extremely difficult
