ABSTRACT
China’s grain will always be an issue - unless grains can be produced in hydroponic systems without much reliance on arable land. Too much grain in China can be a problem, causing a depressed price and income for grain farmers both in China and overseas. Too little grain can also be a problem, causing the Chinese government great concern about food security and driving up the world grain price due to increased imports - an undesirable consequence for many developing importers. Hence, China’s grain problem is indeed an issue not only for China but also for the rest of the world. Not surprisingly, it has attracted attention worldwide.
