Currently, the supply of wheat in China is not able to meet the requirement of food market, which causes a high import demand together with a high storage. The yield in China, physical volume of international trade and the main application of Chinese wheat were reviewed. Meanwhile, the market demand for wheat quality, research on quality measurement technology and the quality status quo of wheat in China were analyzed. Aimed at the challenge in front of wheat industry, a strategy is proposed as developing new quality classification standard to improve wheat quality.
