Animal pollination, as an important part in ecosystems, has come to flourish in global agricultural production. Camellia oleifera, a unique and important woody oil plant with a long history of cultivation in China, is strictly self-incompatible and highly dependent on animal pollination. Based on the new situation of Camellia oleifera industry in China, we firstly analyzed the factors that limited C. oleifera yield, including resources allocation and pollen limitation. We suggested that the effect of pollinator deficiency was equivalent to the effect of pollen limitation and the introduction of potential efficient pollinators was the optimal strategy to resolve the conflict between resources restriction and pollinators deficiency and increase the yield of C. oleifera. Secondly, we discussed the advantages and challenges of artificially introducing pollinators. Finally, we summarized the potential risks and control approaches of artificially introduced non-native pollinators, and proposed new ideas to solve the yield and quality problems of C. oleifera. This paper aims to provide theoretical and scientific basis for the role of artificially introduced pollinators in the high yield of C. oleifera, to promote the development of C. oleifera industry.
