ABSTRACT
As Chinese consumption of feed-related food increases, demand for feed and hence feedgrain has attracted much attention both inside and outside China, as revealed in earlier chapters. This is not only because of food security concerns but also because of the potential implication for international trade, given the sheer size of the Chinese market. This chapter, in relation to the findings in earlier chapters, looks at China’s grain issues from various broad perspectives. In particular, it sheds light on the relationship between feedgrain requirement and foodgrain consumption in China. It especially focuses on examining the impact of economic growth and demographic changes on demand for feedgrain in the near future.
