Does it make sense to increase grain production and import grain year after year? You should not have thought of these aspects.

Although China's grain has declined slightly in 2016, it is still stable at more than 6 trillion tons, with the exception of this year, it can be said that it has been growing year after year. As for China, famine seems to be getting farther and farther away from us, but we have to say that there is another objective problem: while China's grain production has been increasing year after year, China's grain imports are also increasing year after year.

Let's talk about it. Why on earth do we have to import grain? Let's talk about it in detail.

From the current types of grain imports in China, there are basically the following types: soybean, wheat, rice, corn, sorghum and so on. However, a careful analysis of the quantity of these imported grains shows that the shortage of soybeans is very serious. In 2017, soybeans imported a total of 95.53 million tons and imported 86 million tons in 2016, while other crops such as corn, wheat and rice added up to only 40 million tons, and grain imports totaled 130 million tons in 2017.

This also shows that China's grain is not insufficient, but its structure is very unbalanced. This is also the reason why China has put forward the reform of grain supply-side structure in recent years.

In addition to the reasons mentioned above, there are also reasons for the lack of domestic supply of some special-purpose grain, such as the domestic import of strong flour is at the level of millions of tons every year, and due to the special demand for domestic bread production, the quality of domestic strong wheat is insufficient. In this way, there is a demand for imports.

Let's talk about another major reason, economic globalization. In today's era of economic globalization, trade exchanges have become very frequent. The self-contained Qing Dynasty has widened the gap between China's economic strength and the world's economic strength, on the contrary, since China's reform and opening up, actively embracing the world has brought economic take-off, isn't this a lesson from the past?

From this point of view, in this era, the global economy and trade is a normal phenomenon, there is no need to make a fuss. It is right for our country to import grain, however, our country is also constantly exporting grain! Therefore, while China's grain production has increased year after year, it is not surprising to import grain.
