Chapter Chapter 1 in Survivable Restructuring of Vegetable Distribution and Wholesale Markets in Western China, 2015, pp 1-3 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract China is a country with huge population but very small arable land per capita, making the effective use of every single square meter of land a fundamental approach to secure the food supply for 1.3 billion citizens. Since 2000, many cities in China’s western region have thus attached great importance to agriculture, especially to the stability and development of vegetable bases. In addition, the cities have promulgated laws to protect vegetable bases and intensified efforts to subsidize vegetable farmers. More than a decade later, however, vegetable bases around cities still have not expanded. Instead, they have become smaller. Why is it so hard to develop vegetable bases around these western cities?
