| Abstract: The study was conducted to enhance the food security guarantee capability of the main sales area in the event
of major public safety emergencies, clarify the provincial grain production capacity and spatial changes in the production and
sales areas, and further improve the national food security governance capacity and long-term mechanism under the background
of the unified national market in the new era. Using ArcGIS technology combined with statistical analysis methods, the study
analyzes the spatial evolution of grain production and area since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, by taking the
main grain production areas, main sales areas, as well as production and marketing balance areas in China as the research
objects. The grain export rate of the main grain production areas from 2011 to 2023 is also calculated. Research has found that
the net export of grain in China is more concentrated in four provinces including Heilongjiang, Henan, Shandong, and Anhui,
while the grain export rates of provinces such as Sichuan, Jiangsu, Hubei, and Hunan continue to decline, and even show a
tendency towards “regional sales”. There are structural problems such as regional imbalance strengthening, production and
sales mismatch, and grain and feed mismatch in China’s food security. The tr ansportation distance between production and sales
across provinces is too far and the normalized cost is high. The logistics channels are basically independent of each other, with
poor interoperability and connectivity. It is proposed to further strengthen the requirement of ensuring a certain self-sufficiency
rate in the main sales areas by adopting an all-encompassing approach to food, focus on improving the grain production and
emergency reserve capacity of the main sales areas, establish a long-term mechanism for cross regional cooperation in grain
“production and sales”; and enhance the endogenous enthusiasm of grain producers in the main sales areas and avoid “sports
style” production methods. |
