Post-Reform Grain Markets and Prices in China

Gregory Veeck

Chapter 3 in The Political Economy of Agro-Food Markets in China, 2014, pp 77-102 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The many roles of the Chinese state with respect to the construction and maintenance of agricultural markets is a central theme addressed in numerous chapters in this volume. This chapter will review the role of the state in the transformation of China’s grain markets from 1978 to the present with a focus on the impact that government policies and programmes related to production, pricing, and marketing have had over the past 35 years on domestic grain production and yields. Traditionally, Chinese authorities have actively intervened in agricultural markets, especially grain markets, directing both domestic consumption and production, while manipulating conditions related to foreign trade (Duan and Dwyer, 2007).
