Abstract
Projections of grain demand in China vary widely, and the aim of this chapter is to identify the sources of this variation. After discussing a number of factors that influence grain demand, we present a new set of projections of Chinese grain consumption. On the basis of those calculations, we also present a set of new projections of grain consumption. The sensitivity of the projections to key parameters is discussed, and that discussion is used to suggest priority areas for further attention.
