Features: A study conducted by the Worldwatch Institute's Lester Brown in 1995 predicted that China's grain import demand could range from 200 million to 369 million tons by 2030. Brown's estimated scale shocked the research community and alerted officials in the Chinese government. This also became the driving force behind a long-term food security study in China named "China's Long-Term Food Security." This research is the latest outcome of a series of studies and reports by the World Bank on China's grain industry.
