ABSTRACT
The Party committees and governments of the big and medium-sized cities are faced with many important issues, one of which is vegetable supply. During the beginning of large-scale economic construction, it is all right to give more attention to industrial production and capital construction because the country needs industrialization. However, construction requires more workers and staff, and food must be supplied to the increased urban population. The prerequisite for ensuring vegetable supply is to grow an adequate amount of vegetables. To accomplish this, sufficient growing acreage must be guaranteed, and a “safety coefficient” should be set. In the suburbs of big and medium-sized cities, sufficient acreage should be set aside for vegetable growing. First of all, the amount of vegetables required should be calculated according to the size of the population. Then the growing acreage should be figured out according to the per mu output. Vegetable supply in each city should mainly depend on its own suburbs.
