Summary

Stevioside, the main sweet component in the leaves of the stevia plant, about 300 times sweeter than table sugar, is an excellent substitute for sugar, as the incidence of type-2 diabetes and obesity is sharply increasing in the world. It can be used by diabetics, obese persons and patients suffering from phenylketonuria, an illness which requires a strict diet without artificial sweeteners such as aspartame.

Stevia and stevioside have been permitted as food additives in Brazil, Korea, Japan and China. In the United States, they are permitted as a dietary supplement. Recently, large company groups, such as Cargil and Coco Cola have been making effort to widening the market of the United States, and the market potential for stevioside would be great, with the gradual opening of the US market.

China has been the largest stevioside supplier in the world in recent years, though its domestic stevioside market is relatively small. In 2007, about 81% of Chinese stevioside is exported.

Both the stevia planting and stevioside production are undergoing changes in China in recent years, driven by the overseas demand trend.

The increasing demand of high purity stevioside and A3 products from the overseas market, drives the development of domestic steviosdie industry, but the impact of this trend is only limited to the large-scale stevioside producers in China who master the production technology of high purity stevioside and A3 products, while for the small-scale enterprises, who can only produce ordinary stevioside, it is hard for them to get more benefits than before from stevioside export, despite there's increasing overseas demand for high purity stevioside and A3 products.

China's plantation area of stevia leaves with high glycoside and A3 content will continue to expand in the future since 2007, and the proportion of common stevia leaves will continue to decline, though there are regional differences.

This report provides an in-depth analysis of China's stevia planting situation and stevioside production and market situation.
