Abstract

China’s food problems were broader than just food supply—a focus of Lester Brown (1995). These broader problems include the lack of variety in Chinese food consumption, uncertainty about China’s food trade and its impact on world markets, the impact of agriculture and associated activities on the environment, and the exploding budget costs of current agricultural policies. An especially significant food problem in China’s rapidly changing economy made evident by earlier research was that the current self-sufficiency policies actually constrain diverse production and raw material trade, and impact negatively on the development of broader food self-sufficiency and the competitive production and trade of more value-added products (Trewin 1996b). This chapter aims to highlight aspects of China’s food problems through drawing on the situation of another large country—Indonesia in particular—by analysing food policy options relevant to both countries within a global trade framework.
