An Investigation of Grain Production and Marketing in Jilin and Heilongjiang Provinces

Abstract

This paper investigated the current grain marketing system and the implementation of the new grain marketing policy in Jilin and Heilongjiang Provinces. The study revealed serious problems of excessive grain storage by the state-owned grain enterprises in the two provinces. The paper argues that the current situation of mainly relying on state-owned grain enterprises in grain marketing must be changed. Grain marketing channels should be expanded to allow various types of enterprises to participate in grain marketing in order to increase competition in grain marketing, and to improve the grain marketing system.
