Development Strategy Research Of Chinese Corn Industry Under The Framework Of WTO

Corn is one of the major crops in the world. In addition to be the grain rations to consume, corn can also be used as important raw materials of husbandry and grain processing industry. Now, the annual yield of corn has already been the first place in the world grain products, and the world corn trade volume is only behind the wheat. China is the main country of corn production and export, at the same time, China is also an important country of animal husbandry. Accordingly, the corn industry possesses a very important place in national agricultural economy. Based on the analysis of present condition of corn industry in China and in other countries, we can learn that great achievement has been accomplished in corn production and related industries since 1980抯. At present, China抯 corn industry plays a more and more important role in the world. However, there are still many problems in the entire chain of the corn industry. 1, The production scale is small and the general proceeds are low. 2, The distribution of corn production region does not fully accords with that of consumption region. 3, The corn supply is beyond the demand, and the impermanent corn surplus has already happens. 4, The species and qualities of corn do not entirely meet the demand of the market. 5, Deeply processing capacity of corn in China is deficient. 6, Public and supporting service system is undeveloped and infrastructure is still weak. WTO is a multilateral organization aimed to promote free trade. After the entry into the WTO, China must regularize its agricultural policy to meet the WTO rules according to 揂GREEMENT ON AGRICULTURE?and other relevant agreements, including increase access to markets, decrease the domestic support to agriculture, and cancel the export subsidy, etc. While, the China抯 corn production does not has comparative advantage on the basis of DRC, NSP, and ERP measures. Consequently, production, price, import and export situation, circulation pattern and runny other aspects of corn industry in China will encounter great impacts from foreign countries. The existing problems may be more acute. Summing up the above parts, combined with the trend of relevant factors influencing the supply and demand of corn, forecasts and outlook of world corn industry development are made in the paper. It is predicted that the world production and trade volume of corn will increase significantly in the next 10 years, but the composition structure may change in the future, showing a new trait of 搈ore countries importing corns, less countries exporting corns.?China will also transfer from a net exporter to a net exporter. To solve such problems addressed above, according to China抯 practical condition, as well as referring to the experience of corn industry development in the US, policy recommendations have been made as follows: I .Adjusting the corn supporting price to make full use of price mechanism. 2.Decreasing corn planting areas and optimizing species structures. 3.Improving the reform in corn circulation system. 4.Promoting the development of corn processing industry. 5. Integrating the production, processing, and selling process of corn industry. 6.Improve the construction of infrastructure and national food reserve system. 7. Establishing rational agriculture supporting policies.
