Food Security and Economic Reform: The Challenges Facing China's Grain Marketing System (Studies on the Chinese Economy) - Tapa dura

Grain marketing reform in China has been relatively slow. It has not escaped the forces for change unleashed by reform elsewhere in the economy, but it has been slow to respond. What are the forces for change, how soon will the system adapt, and in what direction? These are the sorts of questions addressed in this book. The focus is on the development of the domestic marketing system and the forces acting upon it, including the pace and content of the reform, the development of wholesale markets, and the growth of a complementary financial system.
