Abstract: A stratification sampling method has been applied to investigate 384 households in 12 villages of four towns in Yangzhong county. Responses to a questionnaire show that the average annual energy consumption per rural household is 298.7 kgce (we use 7000 kcal/kgce), with average energy of 0.59 kgce per day mainly in the form of straw. The average energy consumption depends on income, stalk yield, and number of persons and of pigs in a family. There is demand for high-quality supplies.
