Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors, who traveled to China in September 2012 to investigate corn production and trade, show that Chinese corn yields are growing, but at a slower pace than U.S. yields. Chinese corn yield growth is most evident in the North China Plain region. The Northeast region is expected to account for most of China's increase in corn supply, but yield growth is weaker in that region. Extrapolating historical trends into the future suggests that China's consumption of corn will outpace growth in domestic supply. Imports from the United States and other countries are likely to fill China's corn deficit. Figures and tables. This is a print on demand report.
