| Countries covered: China 2011 is a year worth celebrating for China's grain production, which hit 571.2 million tonnes in 2011, up 24.7 million tonnes, or 4.5% over 2010, representing the eighth consecutive year for increased grain production, as shown in the figures from the National Bureau of Statistics of China. However, China still faces heavy tasks for food security. On one hand, The decreasing farmland is a major threat to the grain production in China. Statistics show that China's cultivated land decreased from 130 million ha. in 1995 to 121 million ha. in 2010. On the other hand, the development of urbanization creates a huge potential market for food. Figure from the National Bureau of Statistics shows that China's urbanization rate reaches 51.27% in 2011. This is the first time that the rate has exceeded 50%. By the end of 2011, the number of urban population has increased to 690.79 million, while the number of rural population has decreased to 656.56 million. Besides, in recent years, repeatedly emerging food safety incidents in domestic market have stimulated the demand for safe food. It is a huge challenge to provide enough food with good quality for a country with over 1.3 billion people. However, this also provides good opportunities for the huge market. In fact, many investors have entered the agricultural industry and have gained harvest, and we believe that more will be attracted and involved in the future. |
