Urban residents consume more vegetable, fruits, meats and
dairy products, less grain. Urbanization will be one of the major

Agricultural Production
It is well-known that China is one of the most
land-scarce and water stressed countries in the
world in term of per capita availability.
Moreover…
Furious challenges come from the quick
urbanization and industrialization.
More water shifts from agriculture
to industry and life

China was a net rice exporter in many years during 1980-2013. Only 6 times
to be net importer in past 35 years. Meanwhile, the import accounts a small

Methodology and Scenarios

China’s Agricultural Policy Simulation and Projection Model
(CAPSiM)
– Partial equilibrium model
– Commodities: 22 agricultural products
– 31 provinces and 11 farmer groups
• Baseline scenario
– GDP growth rate: 7.5% annually in 2012-2015, 7.0% in 2015-2020, 5.9% in
2020-2025 and 5.0% in 2025-2030.
– Rural and urban income: 8.33% annually for rural and 6.83% for urban.
– Population : 0.61% in 2012-2015, 0.44% in 2016-2020, 0.22% in 2021-2025
and 0.06% in 2026-2030.
– Urbanization rate: 56% in 2015, 64% in 2025% and 67% in 2030.
– Rural labor cost and land rent: 6% annually for labor cost, 2.5% for land
rent.
– Agricultural R&D: Investment keeps rising in the future.
– Global food price: Long-term agricultural global food price is assumed
based OECD-FAO agricultural outlook 2013-2020 and USDA's agricultural
projections to 2022.

Outline of presentation
1. Historical Change of China’s Agriculture
2. Main Challenges of Agr. Supply and Demand
3. China's rice production, demand and trade
4. Future perspective of China's rice trade
5. Main conclusion and policy implications
China’s food consumption pattern is expected to
undergo the quick transition with its high
economic growth and fast urbanization.
— Per capita consumption on rice, wheat will decline
gradually, following the similar pathway
experienced in Japan, Korea and Taiwan.
— However, per capita consumption on high-value
added food (e.g., fruits, meat, diary and fishery
products) will continue to rise in next 2 decades.
— China’s feed demand will increase dramatically
due to the quick growth of livestock sectors.
While China’s rice production confronts furious
challenges of rising cost, the decreasing per capita
demand and increasing yield will alleviate the pressure
remarkably. Our results indicates that China could
maintain the high self-sufficient ration in the future.
— Consumer’s demand on rice will shift to highquality rice (i.e., good taste, safe and nutritional).
So the key of rice production in China is not to
promote the output, but enhance the quality.
— It is also full of policy implication for regions to
export rice to China.
More attentions should be paid to reducing
production cost and sustainable development,
instead of increasing supply.
— Institutional innovations (including policy reform)
are critical to reduce the cost of labor and land
rent.
— Technology improvement will play a rising
important role to promote China’s agricultural
production and secure food security.
