Food Security and Economic Reform : The Challenges Facing China’s Grain Marketing System (1st ed. 1999)

The development of China's grain marketing system is a crucial part of economic reform.

The focus of this book is on the development of the domestic marketing system.

Of special interest is the impact of marketing reform on regional trade patterns in the domestic market and implications for China's international grain trade policy.
