China’s Grain and Oilseed Sector • farmdoc daily
Carl Zulauf • Carl Zulauf • China’s grain and oilseed sector is examined using US Department of Agriculture Production, Supply, and Distribution data. Examining grains and oilseeds in aggregate is useful because of production, consumption and policy interactions among the crops in this sector. While not clear, new sector dynamics may be emerging. China’s shortfall in domestic production vs. consumption of grains and oilseeds has been historically high since 2016 even with no notable decline in yield or harvested area. Imports have covered the shortfall. The grains and oilseeds included in this study are listed in Data Note 1. The study begins with 1972, initial year of data for peanuts in China.

Two recent studies - one published by the journal Weed Science and the other by the journal Weed Technology - provide insights on the role cover crops might play in controlling horseweed and reducing the need for herbicides.
