Features: China is a major developing country, and agriculture plays an extremely important role in the national economy. Over 20 years of practice since the reform and opening-up has shown that to ensure the healthy, stable, and rapid development of China's economy, it is essential to achieve the take-off of agriculture, the prosperity of farmers, and the rise of rural areas. Since the food processing industry is a natural extension of agriculture and the most closely linked industry to agriculture, developing the food processing industry holds significant importance in addressing China's "three rural" issues. This book explores the historical development and current status of China's food processing industry through a panoramic framework. By citing a large amount of empirical data, it measures the development level and international competitiveness of the food processing industry in various regions of China. Focusing on the role of economic globalization in industrial development, it analyzes the industrial security and food safety of China's food processing industry. Furthermore, it compares the development practices of food processing industries in various countries and, based on this, abstracts general experiences from different countries in promoting the development of the food processing industry. Finally, it proposes strategic concepts and countermeasures to address the development challenges of China's food processing industry.
