苗木需求量总体呈下降趋势。从2021年起，全面实行造林绿化任务直达到县、落地上图精细化管理，科学确定全国营造林任务总量，适当降低人工造林比重，加大封山育林和退化林修复比重。
The demand for seedlings showed a downward trend as a whole. From 2021, we will comprehensively implement the fine management of afforestation tasks up to the county level and the land level, scientifically determine the total amount of afforestation tasks in the country, appropriately reduce the proportion of artificial afforestation, and increase the proportion of mountain closure for afforestation and restoration of degraded forests.
2021年全国计划人工造林面积2006万亩，与前几年相比有一定幅度的减少，“十四五”期间每年人工造林面积基本稳定在2000万亩左右，对苗木的需求将有一定幅度的减少，预计2022年全国苗木使用量约为114亿株。
In 2021, the national planned artificial afforestation area is 2006 million mu, which has a certain reduction compared with previous years. During the "14th five year plan" period, the annual artificial afforestation area is basically stable at about 20 million mu, and the demand for seedlings will be reduced to a certain extent. It is estimated that the national use of seedlings will be about 11.4 billion in 2022.
