Structural adjustment of the landscaping seedling industry is an eternal theme

"So many people have come to my base this past month to look at seedlings, and we ship almost every day..."

"Last year I did nearly 10 million in business, and gross profit was at least a million or so..."

"Last year I moved my seedlings online, with total sales of 2.5 million and total gross profit of 500,000. That counts as a pretty good income, and this year I plan to increase investment in online sales..."

"If the seedlings at my base still can't be sold, I'll cut them all down for firewood..."

"This whole spring, basically no one has shown any interest in my base, and I'm worried sick..."

The above are voices heard recently by a reporter from China Landscape Web while visiting the market. What is the reason for this situation? It is understood that even in such a sluggish market, quite a few people are still making a full pot of money. So why do some people make money while others lose money? Where lies the reason for seedlings selling well or not selling at all?

On this question, views within the industry differ. A few years ago the seedling market was booming, and not only were high-quality landscaping seedlings selling well, but even some lower-quality seedlings sold quite well. Some seedling traders therefore developed the illusion that as long as you have seedlings, you are the boss. In fact, this is not so; this way of thinking will only bring negative effects to the development of the seedling industry. First of all, we all need to choose the right varieties and make sure seedling quality is excellent. Only if our seedling quality is excellent do we not fear seedlings being hard to sell.

Furthermore, the reason seedlings sold well a few years ago was mainly that urban construction was speeding up and projects used many seedlings, but the development of the seedling industry lagged far behind the needs of urban construction, still simply growing seedlings and expanding planting bases without paying attention to issues such as varieties and quality. As large-scale landscaping construction is completed, urban landscaping demand for seedlings is bound to decline and shift toward "premium" products, while the low-end seedlings planted by following the trend earlier have become slow-selling. So when we hear a series of reactions like "If the seedlings at my base still can't be sold, I'll cut them all down for firewood," it is hardly surprising, but because of these negative voices, some people engaged in seedlings think the winter of seedlings has arrived, and that affects the normal development of the industry, which is not what we want to see.

To develop your own nursery, you must understand that adjusting the seedling structure is the eternal theme of the seedling industry. Seedling production is a long-term process, and a speculative mentality is not advisable. Improving seedling quality means constantly changing the traditional, extensive planting model and establishing a mindset of standardized production. Set production by target, plan a reasonable density, and adopt fine management. The level of urban landscaping is to a large extent dependent on the quality of seedlings. No matter how the landscaping market changes, improving seedling quality is the absolute truth. Only by firmly adhering to this can one possibly win opportunities in the ever-changing seedling market.
