At present, Japan is the largest consumer of konjac food in the world, with an annual consumption of 654.38+04 billion yen, or about 654.38+00 billion yuan. Because of the high cost and small quantity of Japanese konjac, it can only meet 60% of its demand, so it is necessary to import konjac powder from abroad or directly import konjac food every year. In addition to Japan, the United States, Russia and the European Union and other European and American countries and regions are also very concerned about konjac flour, and gradually began to use it. At the same time, Hong Kong, Macao and Southeast Asian countries are also major markets for konjac consumption, and their new products are mainly Japanese konjac food and vegetarian products, with an annual consumption of about 1 10,000 tons. China has a population of1300 million. If everyone in China consumes konjac food 10 yuan every year, the output value of konjac food in the domestic market alone will reach1300 million yuan, and the prospect is very considerable.
Amorphophallus konjac is not produced in many countries and regions because of its limited origin.
At present, China is the world's largest konjac planter and product producer, with natural advantages in the international position. The value of konjac itself is actually glucomannan, a water-soluble dietary fiber. Nowadays, konjac industry is being separated from a narrow category, and it is defined as dietary fiber industry from the international scientific definition of its name. It can be said that dietary fiber will be an invincible project in terms of science, market and benefit.
With the massive investment in R&D of brand products such as Sandy Weiwei's konjac dietary fiber, China's konjac industry is getting rid of the previous situation of wandering in low-level processing, with broad development potential, which will bring good news to the health and longevity of the people and create hundreds of billions of economic benefits.
