Abstract: 【Objective】Seed industry is a national strategic and basic core industry. Seed industry competitiveness not only determines the development of the seed industry itself , but also determines the safety of agricultural industrialization. Nowadays, the competition of market share has become the core of the modern seed industry in international competition. Therefore, the study aims at investigating the competitiveness of China’s seed industry in the international seed market share competition.【Method】In the perspective of market share, this paper tries to illustrate and analyze the competitiveness of China’s seed industry by applying the index of revealed comparative advantage (RCA) and export quality indices (QC), by using the data from ISF, WTO and China Customs statistics. 【Result】Findings from statistical analysis show that China’s seed industry accessed less abroad market share and lost more domestic market share. Export markets are mainly concentrated in Asia (59.04%), the large markets in Africa (0.83%) and South America (0.18%) are occupied a little. China’s seed industry has little competitive species, in comparison, rice seeds and vegetable seeds now occupy more market share, they are all at around $ 100 million, while the global seed market demand for wheat, corn, soybean and other seeds occupy less market shares and they are less than $1 million. Overall, China’s seed industry is less competitive. The result of RCA clarifies that RCA index of China's seed industry is low and far less than the value of evaluation criteria 0.8, and has a large difference compared with the United States and the Netherlands. China’s seed industry has no comparative advantages, the competitiveness is weak but the uptrend is obvious. Relatively speaking, the competitiveness of vegetable varieties is higher than crop varieties. The result of QC shows that QC index of China’s seed industry is higher than the value of evaluation criteria 1, and higher than the United States and the Netherlands which is the powerful nation in seed industry. The various types of export seeds, except wheat seed and soybean seed, currently have relatively high added value, and a certain competitive advantage in the aspect of quality.【Conclusion】In the competition of the international seed market share, the competiveness of China’s seed industry is weak but rising as a whole. The added value is high as well. China’s seed industry should accelerate and consolidate the ability of expanding and controlling market share in order to cope with the fierce competition of international seed market.
