Abstract:Grain safety, which is closely related to social stability and national security in China, is a great strategy issue with overall importance, and it the following current hot topic is determining how to balance grain import promotion with guaranteeing sufficient supply and grain import limits to guarantee grain safety. This work applied net import data and consumption data of rice, wheat, corn, and soybean from FAO database statistics for India and Japan during 1961 to 2013 to calculate the net import dependence index. It also utilized case analysis method and comparative analysis for discussion of grain-trade features and validity of grain safety protection policies. Research shows that the guarantee of grain safety in China could not only depend on a decrease of grain import but shall disperse countries of origin on the premise that proper import was maintained. This article hereby makes policy recommendation to improve China's grain-trade pattern and guarantee grain safety based on research conclusions.
