Abstract

Rapid economic growth since the economic reforms beginning in the late 1970s has led to substantial structural change in the Chinese economy. As household income increases, consumption has shifted towards income-elastic goods, such as consumer durables. Within food expenditure, a greater proportion has been spent on protein-rich or healthy food, such as meats, dairy products, vegetables and fruits, while consumption of traditional staple food has stagnated or even declined. The consumption of high protein food induces large demand for feed grain. The share of indirect consumption in total grain absorption has increased rapidly. At the same time, increases in the consumption of vegetables and fruits pose greater competition to grain production in the use of arable land.
