Core Area Of Grain Production In Henan Province And Construction Division

Along with the world population growth, food requirements are getting big due to the rapid development of economy. At the same time, biofuel manufacturing in US,Brazi,EU are consuming massive grain. It causes heavy demand on food consumption in short time and rises up the food price. Ultimately, this situation will threaten the world food security. Since the founding of the People's Republic, China has taken a series of measures to develop grain production with the result of increased grain output year by year. It has effectively ensured the food security of China. Nevertheless. China's per capita area of cultivated land lags far behind the world's average level, representing 25% of the world's average level. China's food security will still be threatened by the fast growing economy, the shortage of water, changing of food structure and so on. A new consideration has been proposed by National Agriculture Development Office and other relevant departments in practice of comprehensive agricultural development, which is developing core grain production areas in China. This new consideration has been acknowledged by state leaders and experts afterwards. China's central government clearly points out in its First Policy Document for 2008 that China will carry out national food-strategy project to develop certain core grain production areas, having sound basic condition and high production and off-take level. Premier Wenjia Bao re-emphasized in the "Report on the work of the government" for 2008 that China would carry out national food-strategy project to speed up the development of core grain production areas in order to increase the comprehensive grain production abilities and food self-supply abilities. The development of core grain production areas is the guarantee of China's food security. How to provide rational protection of core grain production areas and establish perfect mechanism in the developing of core grain production areas becomes an important national task. The research on this project will create important significance. This paper deals with the division and development of core grain production areas in Henan Province covered all counties in Henan. It has mainly the following aspects:(1) Briefing of the background information and the significance of the development of core grain production areas(2) A full exposition of the situation of study on core grain production areas in China and abroad, the definition of core grain production areas, the rules and principles for the division and development of core grain production areas, the theory evidence of the division and development of core grain production areas.(3) An analysis or review of the existing problems in the division and development of core grain production areas.(4) To divide the core grain production areas in Henan Province and the briefing of the means of this division, to brief the establishment and selection of the indicator system and how this indicator system take function to identify the standardized division result by using of the Delphi Method and the analytic hierarchy process models, to compare this result of the division with the result from Agriculture Department of Henan Provincial Government to identify its weakness of this division.Eventually, this paper will also make research on the policy creating, cultivated land protection and development, improvement of the infrastructure for grain production and so on.
