Descripción
Grain is China’s most significant agricultural product, its output being the most watched
indicator by government officials, traders and researchers both inside and outside China. This
paper looks into China’s grain production trends in the recent decade and how the grains
industry has responded to the WTO accession. It examines changes in total grain output,
grain crop composition, regional distribution of grain production, and also changes in
production technologies and costs. The paper concludes by addressing a number of emerging
issues that are likely to affect future grain production in China.
