Development and constraints of food industries in China.

China is a large food-producing and consumer country. China's grain, meat, aquatic products and fruits have reached or exceeded the world average in per caput output; the domestic food industry has become one of the most important industries in China, ranking first for the total output value among all industries, and accounting for 10% of GNP. However, China's food industry is still relatively poorly developed. The ratio of food industry to agriculture in total output value is only 0.43:1, and the structure of the food industries is not particularly efficient. Owing to the limited capacity of storage and processing, the magnitude of postharvest losses in fresh fruits and vegetables is estimated at 20-50%, depending on the commodities. Technical problems facing the sector include high consumption of raw materials and energy, low utilization rate of materials, and shortage of special-purpose varieties for processing, etc.
